the plant is in Belgium but there are similar places all over the world like this. Sci-Fi...? not realy, more like reality and the future in an ever grower world population and smaller living space.
what the grower is using is called a soil block. this is a normal peat compressed to a square shape with seeding hole. these blocks are also made on our machines.
should you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I'm glad the MGS has such a hugh success here on Youtube.
Thank you !!! always nice to have positive reply. as a manufactoror, we aim to please our customers. we have currently 2 more projects to do in Belgium and Holland.
compressed soil by means of a soil blocking machine. The composition of the soil varies from grower to grower and is depended on the crop that is sown in the soil block.
please see the soil blocking videos on my YouTube site.
Great system. Love this kind of thing. I built my first hydroponic system here at home with a bit of automation. Where can i see more autonomous hydroponic system videos like that?
The video is great. I've this great interest to set up MGS technology in Bhutan. The market is huge in India to the south. Does anyone have the approximate idea as regards to the investment of turnkey project to set up one in Bhutan? In other words, how much would this cost to set up in Bhutan? and whom should we contact to start a business dialogue?

the water is given from the sides of the gutters by means of a dripping system. The water can hold anything the plants need to grow such as fertilization. It's difficult to see on the video but the gutter system has a small angle so that the water can reach the farest plant in the gutter. Once the water is at the end of the gutter, what's left of it, gets collected, filtered and recycled in to the system.
ever heard of photosynthesis? even lettuce needs it. The main reason for the space is that the plant in the gutters are spaced every so often to allow the plant to grow. When the plant arrive at the harvesting point, on the other side of the system, they are fully grow in to a nice cabbage lettuce.
Thanks for your interest in the system and the automation.
Great video, indeed it is pragmatic to use this type of space setup and use the sun for photosynthesis. Once such automated plants become more common and implementation know-how improves, you could have in theory, such a plant on the top floor of buildings, and a second floor beneath the top floor on which artificial light could be generated from solar panels on the side of the floors below(with office space, residential apartments, basic small scale manufacturing and/or commercial space)
@filipmeeuws Yeah I know, I was thinking of doing it with UV lighting or something. Dunno if that's even possible though. Perhaps it would end up costing more too.
@filipmeeuws Europeans will do that, Americans will grow GMO bacteria that eats plastic and turns it into food, or smth with algae. Different ways - same result. More efficient ways to feed the world. Americans will be more efficient, though, cause photosynthesis uses only 1% of solar power.
very interesting.... opens some amazing potential for automated agriculture. Problem is, LOADS of jobs will be lost, so not quite something we could adopt in our current society, lol.
@ConceptDestiny That's why we should transition into a resource based economy. Automation would be an integral part of society if built on other principles. :)
I'm glad you all like this. it is the future for urban agriculture to grow like this since the world is becoming smaller and smaller, less space and evermore people that need food. Needless to say an investment of this magnitude is big but as a pretty fast return on investment.

What an amazing hydroponic setup! I am simply awed to see how sophisticated this commercial hydroponics system is. The lettuces really look delicious, healthy and fresh. I am very happy to know that more and more commercial growers are considering hydroponics. That simply means that we can have more access to the freshest and healthiest food crops!
Dear Sir,
the plant is in Belgium but there are similar places all over the world like this. Sci-Fi...? not realy, more like reality and the future in an ever grower world population and smaller living space.
thanks for your interest.

where is this plant/farm.?Kinda looks like something from a science fiction movie.

This is Amazing.
some questions ..
1.What human labor does it require ?
2.What substances and energy does it require?
3.how much does it produce?
4.what's the ROI ?

I like the aspect that (I assume) there is no need for the producer to buy and lace the culture with herbicide and pesticide.
If the lettuce grows by absorbing water and nutrients, what is the input besides water?
(can the nutrients be created with a composting facility for a renewable solution?)

that all depends how big you want your installation. in the case shown on the video, the overall cost for the complete system is around € 1 000 000,-
are you a grower yourself?

I see all the plant being moved around. How does the system circulate the water? I don't see pipes or water baths.

Why don't they make it one on top of the other instead of on a huge flat space? Wouldn't that save in land/space?
