Hide caption Milking Robot I, 2012: One milking robot milks 3 times per day, 60 cows. The cows are in a steady, where they can move freely. They can make use of the robot whenever they have to. No human needs to exist. Hide caption Lettuce, 2011: Lettuce is expanded in a stacking system to provide an optimum use of area. Plants grow inside of plastic trays without dirt. A conveyor belt is moving the plants to ensure they get all round sunlight. The entire expanding process is computer regulated. Hide caption Tomatoes I, 2012: In order to have overall control over the nutrients and the irrigation, tomatoes are planted in sterilized product such as rock wool and not in dirt.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Sky-High Vegetables: Vertical Farming Sprouts In Singapore | Essentials

Sky-High Vegetables: Vertical Farming Sprouts In Singapore

Excerpt:

Singapore is taking local farming to the next level, literally, with the opening of its first commercial vertical farm. Entrepreneur Jack Ng says he can produce five times as many vegetables as regular farming looking up instead of out. Half a ton of his Sky Greens bok choy and Chinese cabbages, grown inside 120 slender 30-foot towers, are already finding their way into Singapore's grocery stores. The idea behind vertical farming is simple: Think of skyscrapers with vegetables climbing along the windows. Or a library-sized greenhouse with racks of cascading vegetables instead of books. Ng's technology is called "A-Go-Gro," and it looks a lot like a 30-foot tall Ferris wheel for plants. Trays of Chinese vegetables are stacked inside an aluminum A-frame, and a belt rotates them so that the plants receive equal light, good air flow and irrigation.
