Vertical Farming

Here are some videos on Vertical Farming, which means basically indoor farming using artificial light. Benefits include:

1.  The ability to grow vastly more crops per area of land than traditional farming, because have several layers of garden on top of each other, instead of just one. 
2. The ability to grow crops underground or at sea (and the Earth is 70% water)
3. The farm areas are enclosed, meaning weeds, pests and plant diseases can't get in.
4. You don't have to transport it very far from where it's going to be consumed, which means that they will also be cheaper (due to minimum transport costs) and very, very fresh.
5.  Your crops are protected from weather and climate, and you can grow them all year round.

The only downside I know of is that they will consume electricity. Free energy devices such as that being produced and taught by the Keshe Foundation may be the answer to this.

Freight Farms

Below are videos of Freight Farms. These things are expensive setups in a truck trailer that you can take anywhere, stack on top of each other, and make food with even in the middle of the ocean. While it's a great proof of concept, not everybody has $80,000 to buy one of these. Instead. the videos further down below show you how vertical farming can be cheap and practical. And doesn't need a truck trailer, just a spare room or basement.

Why Buying a Tower Garden May be a BIG Mistake

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9ZLDaBX-PU

 Here is one expert's opinion on what not to do. He says "I prefer the garden tower instead of the tower garden". And that's a tower garden that you see on in the video above.

Below is what he does recommend. He says this is the best garden tower setup he has ever seen:

John here consumes a lot of the video talking about soil and putting together the best kind of soil for your plants (his soil lesson ends at around 32 minutes into the video). Aquaponics allows me to not think of all of that, but instead just use aquarium water and just plant water plants like lettuce and watercress.

Hydroponics / Aquaponics

Hydroponics is about using nutrient rich water as your growing medium. Aquaponics uses basically aquarium water, with fish poop in it, as your growing medium.
