00:00as the world gets warmer and more inhospitable for many of our planet's plants farmers and
00:08engineers will have to work together to come up with new technologies for producing food
00:12and vertical farming is one of the ways we're already seeing as a solution to that problem
00:16this is ayat abu ramadan and this is his 1076 square foot greenhouse that he says is an example
00:22of what urban farming might look like in the future he says that this little indoor farm
00:26located in the gaza strip is capable of producing the same amount of fruit as an outdoor one 10
00:31times its size and vertical indoor farmers don't have to worry about things like bad weather or
00:36plant eating pests and plants can be grown year-round rather than seasonally with ramadan
00:40adding greenhouses like this one have the great benefit of increasing productivity and increasing
00:45quality with the importance of controlling all the inputs that enter into the production process
00:49and gaza is a great place to test the implementation of indoor farms like this one as it's one of the
00:54most densely populated areas in the world but it's not just saving on land usage it's also producing
01:00better quality food
