Snagged and mashed verbage: On Friday March 28th Anders Sandberg debated the future of farming on BBC Radio 4 with Robin Maynard, of the Soil Association and Professor Les Firbank from the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research. Link: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/rad I forwarded George's email to former C-Realm guest Eric Boyd who had the following to say on the topic of vertical farming: Thanks, I gave it a listen. I personally think that "Vertical Farming" is a ridiculous idea, mostly because of the power requirements. I mean, you've got to provide artificial light for the plants on most of the floors, and that's going to be *extremely* intensive use of electricity.
The discussion of mushroom picking robots relates directly to my conversation with Colin Tudge in episode 77: AI (Agricultural Intelligence), and the discussion of vertical farming resonates with a discussion thread in the C-Realm Forum that turned acrimonious and pointlessly adversarial. This is the same thread for which I solicited some outside opinions and received some whoppers from Dmitry Orlov and Albert Bates. |
