My guy built a laser beam for weeds, based af

It had a lot of promise, but it feels kinda empty at its current state

I'm not really talking about eating them out of desperation but rather just as an additive in food, however I see where your coming from and it's a pretty reasonable response.

Eating the bugs? (m.youtube.com)

Honestly I haven't tried it but I wouldn't mind certain things containing bug parts (on purpose) to make up for protein in them. And honestly that crunch sounds quite good.

This is incredibly insightful as someone who want to get into the business, I agree that as always the governments are like 2 years behind new production methods and I wish that wasn't the case.

THEY EXIST FOR MUSHROOMS???? Please do send a link of the one you buy I am extremely curious to see it

Sorry but I don't quite understand, mind elaborating a bit more?

But I needz mah cheeseborger

I completely agree though reducing livestock to feed would honestly fix a lot of issues

Isn't the entire point that it scales?

That is a very interesting perspective, thank you for making me think of things in a slightly different light. But yes I agree any type of advancement in farming from this point in human history and onwards should be attempting to achieve 2 things:

  • Dont poison the planet (we kind of need it)

  • Make food preferably with some variety

I agree agrivoltaic farming is much more easy to implement for farmers, and although droughts and such will be more common I think the main appeal is what you said freeing up space for nature to reclaim.

[-] Doctor_olo@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

I see your point, but I do still think that vertical farming has its place in a solarpunk future maybe not in the sense of mass production but more personal like a veg garden or something similar.

Sidenote better than hydroponics is aquaponics providing more and better quality food.

I agree it's all about where we apply the growing methods that makes a difference

Vertical farming, the best solution to support an ever growing population or just a scam?

IMHO it has a lot of potential but not being able to grow grains really is something that should be tackled sooner rather than later. But I could see this being used by self sustaining communities to provide lots of food while using very little space. And it's technically more environmentally friendly than just using vast stretches of land to produce the same amount of food.
