great coverage and well researched! also loved how you named some examples of farms throughout your video! Maybe you can come out with numbers if ever you do a follow up video

Could you introduce reference documents in your video descriptions? That would add credibility to your statements in the videos.
Also is it possible to see financial reports for VF and GH facilities?

It seems horizontal mushroom and microgreen farms make profit. Vertical farms have lots of trouble trying to profits even growing microgreens or cannabis.

We may not have a choice but to go with vertical farming in the future due to droughts. Vertical farming uses much less water. Plants don’t have to be grown inside a facility which would allow for pollinators to reach plants, but I can see why it would be better, although you don’t deal with as many pests growing vertically and doesn’t require high skills either, I find it easier than growing in soil. If so many plants can be grown vertically and save water, why not, but what I’m actually curious about are the nutrients on these plants compared to those grown in soil.

I bet you that in a jungle, on some remote island, some boy who has been raised by various forest creatures, has designed far more effective systems than the ones mentioned here, using completely free energy and nothing but discarded trash he collected from the ocean. One country spends a billion on a rollerball pen that can write in space, the other uses a pencil.

Awesome video! I love your video series on vertical farming. Can you do one on aeroponic innovation?

The money goes to whoever can farm vertically while reducing capital expenses

Easy!

Garbage. Bunch of generalizations to bait you to watch. All of the video is stock footage stitched together.
