2 acre AI controlled vertical farm better than 720 acre flat farm!

So plants require the macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg), carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H)

And the micronutrients (or trace minerals): iron (Fe), boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni)

What does your "organic" soil have in it that's not listed here, and why is that critical for nutrition? Genuine question, as you claim to have knowledge in this area.

it isnt "real". you can isolate anything, but it doesnt make it the orginal thing. what makes the original thing, is the combination of components that make it up. when i said "a replication of an actual organic, i.e. not real" i was referring to the ENTIRETY of the organic thing. not the isolated components. But answer me this genius, since you seem to think you are smart. how exactly does a plant work? how exactly does it convert light into energy? Since you seem to think you know it all this should be easy for you to explain. i'll wait.

Tower architecture makes putting panels on the outside surfaces practical and efficient. No additional horizontal acreage needed.

then you don't know shit about farming. plants uptake nutrient that are in the SOIL. Only organically grown food will have all the nutrients required. even the shit grown in soil on corporate farms dont have the required nutrients.

Rabbit food, Deer and cow food maybe.

Look at the whole set up -- Over the top Cost budget. What a WET DREAM

What about a Hydroponic environment with the right ecosystem of fish in a pond with dirt and water plants, crayfish..etc?

I do, and you're 100% WRONG.

Are you a real Tard?

Hydroponics supplies nutrients to plants..

That is what method is used in vertical farming, along with LED lighting using wavelengths specific to plant growth

How is solar sustainable and efficient?

How are batteries made and how long do they last?

Look it up.

no i am not.

You can't teach an organictard anything new. They reject established facts, yet they're fucking dumb when it comes to plant nutrition.

They're the delusional unwashed hippies of the farming world.

Hey OP, will you be first in line for the vax?

The sustainability of solar etc is an entire subject on it's own. Suffice it to say, for the purposes of this thread, that a vertical farm can be built much closer to it's customers, doesn't produce toxic emissions (unlike a flat farm), isn't affected by climate changes, can be run fully automated etc etc.

Really? Let's start with this statement of yours, "Only organically grown food will have all the nutrients required"

Care to explain and back that claim up, because you can't.

How does a farm produce toxic emissions? Are you talking about the petroleum-burning tractors?

or it is science...

"This study found that only swamp cabbage grown organically was highest in β -carotene, vitamin C and riboflavin contents among the entire samples studied. "

So where are all these ingredients coming from? Are you going to mine them from the earth yourself? Do you really think man can recreate the job of an earthworm , for example, and compete with them? Who is going to do that part, much less all of the other amazing life forms that are REQUIRED to turn dirt into soil?

Among other things, yes. But most farm implements are diesel.

i could grow ONE organic head of lettuce and it would be more nutrient dense then 20 of these. you dont get it. this food is worthless

Oooh boy. Where to start? Check out this new thing called chemistry. Also look up synthetic biology, GMO's, industrial chemical production, etc.

I know, some scary words in there, but you'll be ok.

thats because all you idiots are talking chemistry and i am talking the entirety of an ecosystem. idiots like you have myopic syndrome. you can only see the single thing you think you know, and you dont even realize it has very little impact on the entire ecosystem. You couldnt even begin to understand.

FAIL

Your link is to a study that only compares Organic farming to conventional farming.

In a non-organic sterile hydroponic garden, any combination of elements can be provided to plants that could possibly be found in organic "soil".

See, you are talking about chemistry, but the real farmers are talking about biology.

Among other things, yes. But most farm implements are diesel.
