This is an excellent example of how to get rid of food stamps and become
self sufficient I have my own idea on how to incorporate this. For places
that don’t have great growing conditions outdoors or in urban city area’s
one is grow indoors with lighting you can still cultivate fish indoors.
Creative thinking is what will make things possible. Get a small bit of
land get a variety of animals you want to have. Remember this is a
community thing yes you the individual can do this for your self but
instead sharing vandalism sharing on the costs the work etc. … will make
these become the way of the future.

Isn’t if funny how all of the city communists have the perfect plan for
growing food despite the fact that none of them have ever worked on a farm
or anywhere else a day in their lives.

@grandmastermicochero On a different clip it says the solar panels are to
heat water.

@Reybo The reason you feel that way my friend is that party and left vs
right are a thing of the past. The problems facing us face ALL of us. Time
to stop dividing and start uniting. And isn’t this just one friggin cool
way to do it?

Wow you’re an economic idiot. None of any of that had to do with the
original comment. “Depending on profits of corporations.” So you expect
people to work to grow food and not make a profit? Thanks Hitler. A profit
is a measure of efficiency. Thats why I can prove that these growing
methods can’t compete with one man and a combine on 1000 acres “Land is the
best employer. ” Ok. Then outlaw UPS. You get 100% employment if the
government mandates that all packages must be delivered by donkey.

That was not nice calling me an idiot. I am enthusiast for the technology
and I believe in robots doing most of the job, but I am against using
technology in destructive manner which conventional agriculture is. Calling
me a marxist proves that you’re driven by ideology and not by reason.
Economy should be driven by reason since it’s taught in universities, but
greed (which has nothing to do with the reason) takes place instead.

Season of Treason is absolutely ridiculous and Kurt is so confused. Even if
we don’t get 100% pure healthy foods, at least people are doing their best
and that is what counts.

This gives me hope for the future. I generally lean to conservative but
Glen Beck, Rush and especially Hannity SHove and learn what REAL people can
accomplish!!! I hope this spreads!!!!!!!!!

There is a NY restaurant that produces all it’s vegetables and herbs using
vertical hydroponics on it’s roof top. Just imagine if it uses Verticrop
systems or the improved vertical Mittleider system. That restaurant can
produce all it needs and recycle all it’s wastes using Living Machines and
others to be self-contained by producing it’s own certified GE-FREE seeds,
fertilizer, natural pesticides, bio-energy, etc. The investments can in
mere months and huge savings achieved in less than a year.
