A Farm for the Future 01

[MrCyberwaves]

HELLO THIS IS SUPER SCIENTIFIC ENGINEERING HQ GERMANY: HOW DO WE PLOW IN THE FUTURE? HOW DO WE COMMUNITY FINANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE, LASTING TECHNOLOGIES THAT FREE US AND NOT ENSLAVES US? (WE NEED TO PLOW DIFFERENTLY IN THE FUTURE, SOLAR DESALINATION PLANTS, SPONSORED BY GOVERNMENT WOULD BE NICE)

[lordmetroid]

She forgot to include the plastic package around the sandwich.

[jetle25]

Sad seeing the factories of Sandwich workers. Happy to see bunnies and foxes running past the screen.

[LordKarmaUSA]

Unfortunately, this young lady and her experts have been absorbed into the Oil Shortage Propaganda that the Oil Companies and Globalist Cabal are busy selling to the world when in fact there is so much oil everywhere that the opposite of what she is believing is true. This subsequently is a nicely done Propaganda film. Go look up Lindsey Williams and learn the truth.

[MegaTemporarily]

Yes we need logical, scientific, future-focused and profitable farms, factories, trade, businesses, credit unions banks all over the world in order to give all of us the food, clothes, jobs, opportunity, prosperity, computers, freedom, dignity that we all need and want.

Hard-work, honesty, logic, science, pragmatism, is what will give us freedom and dignity.

[penorpls]

I wish the Asian continent would stop having babies. PLEASE STOP! THERE'S TOO MANY OF YOU!

[MrJDoe9]

@penorpls I will give your comment more attention than it deserves, and point out that the problem of overuse of resources and pollution is driven not by the number of people living but rather the lifestyles of these people. So attempt to blame the developing and third-world nations if you wish, but it is our lifestyles in the developed economies which are running the world into the ground.

[penorpls]

@MrJDoe9 I can tell you probably voted for Obama.

[jetle25]

@penorpls If the USA and western 1st world countries stop polluting the world and wastefully consuming all the natural resources. Majority of Asian population live in rural regions, with no running water or electricity, eat a lot of veggies they grow themselves and are essentially making less of an impact all around compared to an American family.

[DoLpH1983]

Perhaps you should research biomass and gassification, most of Europe ran on it after the second world war until dirty stinking oil companies took over again. I'm building a system which will turn biomass into electric using a biomass boiler and off the shelf parts. Its cheap and clean. Still under development but check my channel if u r interested.

[plasticspine]

all these fearmongering dirt hippies act like technology isnt real were now makeing hydrogen and all kids of biofule from algea and well find even better ways to make energy in the future also pestisides have kept us from starving and gues what were living longer than ever the human mind is amazing !! exploit the earth or die !!

[MrJDoe9]

@plasticspine isn't* we're* making* kinds* biofuel* algae* we'll* pesticides* guess* we're*

[cafeaulait69]

@plasticspine "pestisides have kept us from starving " by US I take it you mean the explotative northern hemisphere of the planet. were you asleep while ethiopia and india was in famine, while their own seeds are being patented by multinationals. try googling palm oil, tar sands, logging. explotation is fuelled by profit maximisation not the benefit of human kind.

[lexsite]

Wildlife in UK? Do they mean the foxes?

[fiddlerize]

please realize that there are many ways of practicing permaculture and so many plants that one person cannot possibly know them all. you can grow rye , buckwheat and wood millet in britain in clearings in the forest garden.cereals and forestry can exist together.agroforestry goes more into growing cereals with large and small tree strips. hedges can be grown with standards (single trees that stick out from the hedge) like coppice with standards.much more value in permaculture tha can be shown

[usemoreproduct]

and the plastic sandwich packaging is also made from oil.

[LandescapeProject]

Very inspiring! We'd love to use permaculture in our Project! Enrich your soil naturally :-)

[blacklocustfarm]

Just wanted to say that this is one of the best intro permaculture documentaries out there that I have seen. We are in the process of converting over-grazed pasture into nut orchards (shagbark hickory, black walnut, hazelnut). This includes alleyways to graze dairy goats, sheep, and poultry; with swales to infiltrate water and catch nutrient run-off. I wonder if there could be a part two of the film highlighting commercial scale permaculture projects all over the world. We need more quality PR!!

[roncarla1]

WOW what a bunch of crap go whine somewhere else. Who paid for this propaganda BS Just stop sell go away cry somwhere else..

[fudgedogbannana]

Shoot you politicians and propaganda scammers and you'll have plenty of oil. They outlaw drilling and exploration then claim shortages, they create a crisis and come to save us from it.

[regenerati]

Hi Dak....can you contact me about your Tesla experiments,,,, I inherited some land in Coastal California....I can be reached at:

laurelcanyonmusicdotcom

Cheers!

Thanks for the hopefulness!

[TheDaikashido]

in 1902 tesla and a farmer presented an energy system to the US congress using electrodes in the ground. The farmer was apparently running his entire farm on the electricity collected from the earth. There is, after all, a giant ball of spinning liquid iron under our feet...and we float in a cosmos full of radiation...so where's the energy shortage? I made something with an aluminum frying pan antenna and a ground that collects electricity day and night, silently with no moving parts fo free!

[RinggMaster22]

This fuel thing is mostly the Problem! Grow our own food locally. Ofcourse she scared everyones eyes r being opened!

[catgumart]

I think people who get degrees -many of them end up in pushing paper at cubical jobs that seem to not really be necessary -like these jobs are devised simply to put people who got degrees & need to pay back student loans & create superficial appearance that something good came of the degrees --I think people should learn trades & agriculture & share in food production -food is important & meaningful & trades give people skills so they can serve others & take care of themselves.

[3877michael]

Oil will run out in 26 years. Every 10 years oil consumption doubles all the oil that has ever been pumped.

[EvB0223]

Nature, or anything single element of it, is not our enemy, it is our friend and partner and makes even makes us happy. We have been indoctrined to look at things from a very narrowminded point of view and made dependent on it, egged on (if not partially designed) by people and industries benfitting from it on short term (oil, nuclear, food, pharmaceutical industries and consequentially also politics).

The answers are and have always been there, all we have to do is SEE it and learn from it.

[vidaripollen]

very touching.every where same story.

[DANIELSUTCLIFFE]

isn't this alittle bit scary?

[quoidanslemondequoi]

The peak actually happened in 2006.

[personzorz]

@quoidanslemondequoi *A* peak happened in 2006. We do not know yet if production will EVER rise above that level, and making assertions one way or the other right now is premature. That being said, it has stayed flat for some time and for each year that that stays the same the probability of it continuing up decreases.

[quoidanslemondequoi]

@personzorz You must have oil production confused with something else.... LOL

[darak81]

I prefer a traditional agriculture and not a industrial one!Whit love from Romania!

[jenRWfan]

Love the Sandwich bit.  Watched this on TV -great series BBC . Wonder How the farm is doing now .

[thisisjustme1]

This is such a beautiful movie. If you ever need help on the farm, let me know. I want to help.

[GreenIsOurGarden]

We have put together a site that showcases aspiring writers in sustainable agriculture. We are particulary interested in the theme of how spirituality (whatever that means to you) can inform sustainability.

You can find us at greenisourgardendotcom

[Freshminster84]

We need to grow our own food our humanity will suffer. Appreciate those who may not have a garden but we need to far more than ever imaginable. According to recent studies we need to increase food production by 40% in the next 20 years!!

[MrEnergyCzar]

Cheap Oil = Cheap Food. No Cheap Oil = Less People.... Learn to grow your own food....

[ssssaaafff]

I agree that this permaculture is the only way to go. But your deluding yourself in thinking about peak oil running out. If you just google the major oil finds in the last 20 years there is oil enough for hundreds of years. Russia now leads in oil production and they have continuous deep wells. The new finding in gulf shows more oil than Saudia Arabia, the new fields in South America, the Alaskan north slope oils are rumored alone to give USA all the oil it needs. the massive Vietnamese oil find

[OurFadedGarden]

The corporations took the farms away from the people in the US back in the 80s

[rBoyProduction]

Simply inspiring! I will soon start my thesis paper on Urban Agriculture. I am extremely glad I have stumbled across, this aided my knowledge much clearer. Well put together. Congratulations!

[Freshminster84]

As an aricultural stsudent in my third and final year this is an excellant documentary, (if you watch all other parts) and highlights just how reliant we are on fossil fuels. We, (UK) needs to change the way in which we farm and also try and become self-sufficient. I have many debates over this as if we look back after W.W.1 or 2 the government made a promise to be self-sufficient. How much this has changed...If you want to do your bit and help look at Permacuture! Extremely insightful

[8cicis]

How about becoming vegetarian!!!!

[qualqui]

@8cicis yeah and goin' back to our forefathers way of life, did you know that corn smut is edible and i can very well imagine most farmers in the west use pesticides to kill the fungi, and there are a load of "weeds" that are edible and require li'l or no cultivation!

[candyman69barbie]

thank you.(SAY NO TO FACTORY FARMS)

watched this first time round on Tv and then as now found it so true and honest We will always be responsible to our future but still don't change the end is soon not biblical but honestly WE MUST comment on OUR future or give up

[FishyMoe]

bring it on, it was a long time comming. fuck the world now anyway, what, was it supposed to be better? the earth is sick.. it needs to heal. start growing food near your house right now! i live in the suburbs of melbourne, australia, im 21 years old and ive got chickens, a garden, an aquaponics system in the making and am moving onto other things.

[FringedOOTmaFrang]

@FishyMoe The earth is sick because people don't take care of it

[Jefferdaughter]

When counting the oil used to produce an (industrial) sandwhich, why start with the bread? Why nost start with the plastic package.

Food was, and can again, be produced sustainiably. Check out Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm on YouTube, or Google.

Beautiful farm! Very Interesting.

[croscream]

''It doesn't matter if it is this year, next year of five years out''

Does it matter if it's 10 years, a hundred years or a thousand years? What if i am watching this documentary 10 years after it was produced and there still isn't an oil shortage, does it matter that it was 10 years and not five years out?

It matters if you want to be believed.

[Thx1138d]

i like this idea but I think alternative energy sources will be found. If they have to put a solar panel satellite in space it will happen. people get really creative when desperate measures are needed.

Farming is hard work and dangerous. 

[ugamoma]

@Thx1138d Permaculture is smarter than it is hard work. Most anyone can dig a swale. Dangerous? You are being dishonest.

Solar satellite? Seems easier to increase efficiency of solar panels and rig up some rooftops.

They will one day cure all cancers, but don't let your kids smoke and ingest carcinogens.

[MrJacobTiffin]

I love this video Im looking at doing the things they talk about.

[ovonijemojeime]

there is no future.

[jwhitehv]

spaggs111: I think B100 is a great idea for the individual, co-op, or other group with access to waste vegetable oil. But energy-hungry countries can't grow enough oil crops to supply their diesel needs, much less all fuel needs.

Foraging for food wasted by others is still dependent on others participating in the style of cultivation that is leading to the problems outlined in the movie.

I'm all for starting gardens and de-centralizing food production.

[spaggs111]

really now, this is not that big of a deal. Run B100 in your trucks and tractors, start a vegtable garden in your back yard, and be a freegan. I have a diesel car and truck and just bought a bio diesel processor for all of $700, now I can make fuel for about a buck a gallon. grow your own food and share it with your neighbors. can't get more local then that. Go dumpster diving. In the US nearly half of all food produced ends up in the trash. We have a long way to go if we play our cards right.

[jwhitehv]

Any coverage of the ongoing transformation of the farm?

[GiveMePins]

Interesting

[thinkrevolution]

I love the idea of permaculture and sustainable living... but there's enough oil off the north slope of Alaska to supply the United States for over 200 years! The "energy crisis" has been forced onto us by the elite of this world.

[LGreener25]

If you expect us to beleive this shit you must be outta your fucking heads

[lololuree]

Way to be negative and closed minded. Your ignorance is what will ruin people's efforts to feed and support humanity. You don't think that these problems exist? OR even that there is a way to work against it?!?!

[politicoaz]

I have no idea what you could be talking about? Believe what? That farming is resource intensive?

Perhaps you should do a little research. Regardless of how you feel about peak oil's imminence, it should be obvious that you cannot run a linear system on a finite planet.

[LGreener25]

Your reply is just what I expect from primitive sheep like yourselves, you'll be telling me next that the human race is what caused global warming?!

[Fizmoo]

the UK has a great countryside!

[VictorianGentlmn]

I may not agree with the reasons expressed in the film, but I encourage some of the ideas put forward. You don't have to beleive peak oil to think we need to rethink things. If we keep on like we are going Monsanto will destroy us all for their own benefit. Everyone would do better by providing more for themselves. This consumer culture has led to a pill-popping suicide culture in Western nations. Thank you for posting this.

[Gold3nKu5h]

First off, is she saying Oil is the farm of the future, or is there some hidden message of an updated agricultural method in this video? This isn't a very informing video, and doesn't really help with spreading any knowledge about current, or even future agriculture methods. As much as i'd like to see hemp become a cash crop, it's not going to save us.

[politicoaz]

Watch the whole video before you make judgments about its content.

[gringodeltoro1]

Hemp people, the solution is hemp.

Hemp is food, textile, bio fuel, building material, medicine.... and so on.

Hemp grows without pesticide almost anywhere in the world.

In a wet climate it can be harvested 3 times a year.

Hemp seeds have the same amount of protein than meat.

We wouldn't even need to slaugheter any animals.

Henry Ford made a car entirely out of hemp in 1941. It's on youtube, check it out.

Hemp is the future. It's green, versatile, and costs pratically nothing. Find out.

Nice paradise....except that for the sheep,raised,i presume for its flesh,it will be horror when the owners decide it's time to die!

[ugamoma]

@govindas999 Search Joel Salatin and polyface farms. Meat can be sustainable. Humans are omnivores, or as vegetarians, they self-sacrifice their own health potential. Be all you can be.

maybe the change will be for my sons..if I will have its....

one things i m certayn..In world like this I prefer have not children...because I m very very worried for the future for our future...

[fredskysurf]

i wiil try...actually my method of work in farm is similar to farm of future, we need to time for this because is not immediate the change...but I want to arrive at this

[fredskysurf]

Im a woman and I m a farmer in a biologic factory,my farm after seeing this video I promise I will try tok trasform my farm in a farm of the future

may thanks for your heart to produce this video.free

[kraigthorne]

@fredskysurf I would not be so fast to make the change, because man made global warming has been proven to be a lie and just in the state of Utah there is enough oil to keep the world running for 100 years. There is more oil in the USA than all off the middle east and Russia combined.

[humanist7117]

Urgently important!!

[motorolarules]

Outstanding video, reality check for the uninformed and a reminder for the informed. A sense of urgency mist be attached to our own attitudes regarding how we are going to work land, take care of ourselves and help our neighbors too.

Great video!

[DritonGusia]

we've turned this heavenly world into an incubator shit-hole just to survive... 6billlion people, growing like maggots from carcass. Wasting a life in passerby like parasites of no good... All the blessings we ignore... all this beauty shining in blind eyes of fools. Shame on mankind... FAR BE THE MERCY FROM THE DIVINE RAGE. I pray for our doom! Because I just can find a little space untouched by filth were I can LIVE... really live...

[superwolf76]

DrtionGusia, Praying does no good and neither does your sick wish for "our doom". You've simply demonstrated the same attitude towards the world of which you accuse others: complacency. You don't truly care, otherwise you'd get off your dirty knees from praying and dirty them from planting your own food and teaching others! Whine and bitch all you want and see how far it will get you. Others will do the work you refuse to do. Lazy and infantile.

[DritonGusia]

I pray to the Sun, which will burn us all because of our idiocy, not to your god

And what I wanted to say with that mean attitude is just to express my disappointment for we are destroyng our planet.

If I will ever have a chance to do anything, I will, I am ready for it.

I'm still 20, and I study psychology and I'm also an artist. I dream to be a farmer and live in harmony with nature, and I will.

I'll do anything I can for the sake of nature

prayer is not all I do

[donze52]

South West NE. has room if you got funds. the rich own the land but then we many of us do as those of merry old England and just tresspass and garden when and where the richman can't see.

an hour of gardening in the spring can produce $1,000 in the fall.

[skatelongboards]

my dad only owns 5 acres but like 2 acres of that is like food gardens.we grow watermelon,cucumbers,strawberr­ies,melon and all that pluss we got like 5 apple trees.saves us money so make sure to plan some of ya own food

[atomicrayco]

Overpopulation is the problem . Why is it never brought up in the media. Could it be because Al Gore has 4 kids , David Suzuki 5

[evillutionskate]

Erm, what do you suppose we do about overpopulation?

As it is a small minority of the population that destroys and wastes all I'd say you are quite detached from reality.

[OtantalizingO]

You didn't get the part that we eat fossil fuels?

[codelocator]

Thanks. Everyone should watch all of this.

[cool70200]

Yes, the economics and market political forces, not to mention varying climate, droughts, environmental, etc that play into all of this is something else.

This is why so much emphasis is going on with alternative energy, a cheap viable alternative source of energy for transportation, utilities,

[cool70200]

I agree codelocator, get this video to everyone on the globe, so they'll see just how much goes into industry for any country.

They could also do a video about electricity production/consumption,

water purification,

land rehabilitation,

ore-metals production/consumption and waste pollution issues.

[emissionary009]

I never thought farming cd be thrilling, but this film made it so. Taking into account that 85p of every pound we currently pay for our food is for the oil to produce and transport that food, the coming impacts of exorbitantly expensive oil will devastate our existing sources of food, but with what this film shows, we have found a way around this challenge. It's being pioneered now, by this imaginative woman and the geniuses she learned from. It's a film we'll be glad we watched thro to the end.
