You are out of your fucking mind if you think that is remotely economical.

I think indoor urban farming is going to change the way food is grown over the next decade. LED technology now allows you to turn abandoned warehouses into highly efficient farms where the environment is totally controlled. No need for pesticides, no crop loss due to drought and you can operate year round.

It's already being done.

Not really -- I have a friend who sells them.
LED's don't use a lot of power, at all.

Way too small a scale to ever supplant dirt farming in real sun.

Do you know what doesn't use a lot of power? Plants in a field.

It's cheaper than traditional farming. The amount of energy is not that much because the LEDs are designed to only emit light in the wavelengths that chlorophyll utilizes.

dewd people are already converting old shit factories by me to make huge aquaponics facilities n shit. Skycrapper farms are the future. Electricity bills? Its called making a fuck load of money selling fresh grown local produce and fish in urban areas. obv you know what produce goes for in cities like new york. LED's are getting extremely efficient and cheap anyway. they way shit is grown is hella efficient to making maximum use of surface area. Eventually i imagine the whole floor of a skyscaper as an orchard or something once we get redic amounts of cheap efficent energy once the next step forward happens whatever that maybe

You are out of your mind. Do you have any idea what the cost of real estate and building is in cities? Or electricity?

Well, yeah... I don't think it's going to replace farming anytime soon.
I wouldn't say it isn't feasible though.
No problems with weather, better control over things like disease and pestilence...
Also, people can grow their own food this way, even in the city.
I asked my friend approximately how much power would a 10 sq. ft room stacked vertically take to light:
Quote:
10 square foot is roughly a 1 squaremeter room. a single 150w panel would cover that area.
150W is tinyyyy

you take old condemded shit factory uildings that are rich guys headache for next to nothing and abate them and convert them to use. its actually relativly cheap dewd. plus u get all kinda sweet government kick acks for using green stuff and breathing life into shithole places that a blighted and no longer generating any revinue for the city i mean damn it not even hard

considering how fast you can grow lettuce hydroponically quite alot. I mean there are huge facilites that are eing uilt and is seems these companies are expanding so they must be making quite a bit of money right? once the price of potatos gets high enough and the technology is there you etter bet theyll be people growing potatos under lights.

Yes, I know. That doesn't work for farming on the scale needed to actually feed the populace. Not even close.

Not to mention t saves a lot of water. I'm pretty sure indoors farming uses like 30% as much water as regular farms. And it saves tons of space, since you can have a "stacked" farm.
