Tokyo’s Vertical Farms – The Future of Farming | WIRED
How do we feed a growing population in areas where land is scarce? Grant Imahara visits Tokyo, where “vertical farms” give us a glimpse at what the future of farming may look like. This video was created by WIRED Brand Lab in partnership with Mouser Electronics.

What kind of water do you use in the cities for this? Tap water? Tap water is not for agriculture!!!
European unique contribute recognize theory think fundamental can paper achieve
Why not on vertical lenght rolling devices ?
Using squared horizontal surfaces to build "vertical" farming,
Seems bit weird …
Even more on "controlled" hygrometry …
Even more in that kind a specific needs .
Cool, very nice technology. Great Japan.
Eat plant-based and get rid off meat, which is toxic, oxidant and carcinogenic.
There’s vertical farms in Singapore too
isnt that the dude who did the mc donalds thing lol?

These guys are so behind, minecraft players have been doing this years before these guys!
Wait hold up… iv made a farm like this 6 years ago! On minecraft!

Is it possible to grow grains hydroponically such as rice or other plants like lentils or beans?
So, why is it that I saw a similar video about a vertical farm in the US about 6-7 years ago that also saved on energy costs by identifying the fact that crops only require specific freq’s of the spectrum, then focusing the usage of LED lighting to those colors (I believe it was blue and red, but the blended colour came out pink-ish)… now i see this video implying that vertical farming is a brand new shiny Japanese thing?! Totally radicchiolous.
2004: Founding of AeroFarms
2015: AeroFarms opens world’s largest vertical farming venture using their discoveries in energy saving light-shifted LEDs… in NEW JERSEY, US.
Then again, Mirai has a near identical timeline according to different online sources – and i have neither the thyme, nor the energy to suss this out for a Ytb comment.
And lettuce not forget the work they’ve been doing at Vietnam National University of Agriculture since 2006 – truly, the hydro/aqua/aeroponics sectors have been making grape advancements around the world for over a decade.
Don’t get me wrong. I think this method of agriculture should be adopted by every region of the world, and by every prefecture and state within 日本国 and the US, respectively. Just sayin’: carrot where carrot’s due…
Rest in peace Grant
Hydroponics is the 21st century agriculture. Kudos
There isn’t a word about the energy needs of such a construction. The carbon footprint is massive of this technology. Also, we don’t know the nutrition value of the products in a fully artificial environment, totally lacking sunlight. How much chemicals and fertilizers are used in there too? I am not convinced.
I do not think of this as "vertical" farming. It is Stacked Farming. Vertical actually hangs up and down not flat on a rack. Check out the "Leafy Green Machine" and you will see what i mean. This definition opinion of mine does NOT take away for this amazing company! Very impressive.
R.I.P Grant ♥
RIP Grant!
Elon Musk will need this for our Mars colonies.
It’s only lettuce, what about other crops?
NON GMO RIGHT? better be because the US needs to get rid of all GMO food,, its trash and devalues our health, Japan can show the US how to be healthy food wise.
Plants use a certain spectrum of light for growth and flowering! Also let say taller plants are grown would this system still be effective!
So myth confirmed right?
We are getting higher and higher requirements in selecting lamps. Now it is the age of technology. Everything is already smart. Our lights are becoming more and more intelligent. You can imagine using mobile phones. Adjust the brightness and spectrum of the lamp? This is the new product we are pursuing.
The Japanese treat this vertical farm as if it were a semiconductor fabrication plant, or similar. 🤭👍👍👍…

What about bees?
Most advanced country in the world
1:24 give this man some subtitles lol
So what’s the deal here with these large hydroponic operations including in Japan? The world’s population is going to be fed lettuce?
myth busted
Nani?
What kind of lamp they use?
"Mirai" is the Japanese word for "future."
fake
I want to start hydroponic in india . Anyone who investment in it
An even more efficient way (and economical) would be to build sea-based platforms, no? Electricity could even be produced by kinetic energy produced by waves. Out-water filtered with vortexers, CO2 emissions captured and re-used to grow algaes. This is really cool field to be involved in!
Why they are wearing masks
May I use some of this video (just a few seconds) to add to my video as a visual illustration entitled "Indoor Farming | This is Agricultural Technology in Japan", I will include the source of this video in the video and the video description on credit.
My warm regards,
Isa ansari 07
Bolehkah Saya menggunakan sebagian dari video ini (hanya beberapa detik) untuk dimasukan kedalam video saya sebagai ilustrasi visual dengan judul "Indoor Farming | Inilah Teknologi Pertanian di Jepang", saya akan mencantumkan sumber video ini didalam video dan deskripsi videonya sebagai kredit.
Salam hangat,

Love the idea. They are the closest solution to space colonization and astronauts feeding necessities. I could invest on stocks for this company eyes close.
These videos are wafer thin…
Cube / Vertical hydroponic #farms are great idea’s.
is fake
can we vertically farmed rice?
faker pakistan arabish ligue pfamaka-industrie👎✌✋
We miss you Grant
I guess it would be a tradeoff between overheads of going verticle in a city center; I would have guessed it was cheaper to ship in from rural areas, land in cities is not cheap.
Because the sky has no limit! This is rediculously smart! I hope this type of farming will be implemented everywhere and in other countries as well 🙂
I can picture cities with skycraper farms.
