  2. Future Farms May Be Indoors:
    Japan is starting to make farms, inside. They save water, and bugs don't get into the crops. Some of these buildings can do 50%-80% more, than farms outside.

  4. Easing world hunger

    Genetically engineered animals could be the answer to world hunger. Genetically engineered food animals could provide a sustainable means to feed a fast-growing world population, yet regulatory hurdles keep such animals off the market. According to the United Nations, more than 25,000 people die of hunger every day around the world, Van Eenennaam said. Genetic engineering could significantly boost food production

  5. Farms indoors?

    Farmers in Japan are making farms indoors, and I think that it might be a bad idea, because plants need the sunlight to survive, but it could also be a good thing so that the crops don't have to face the hard weather conditions. This indoor farms will have fewer bugs on the crops, and it will save from 50% to 80% of water.

  7. higher protein boosts value of crop- farmers in region with higher quality soybeans receive better price than farmer with less protein. The farmers need to find protein booster without sacrificing the yield. the protein in the soybeans make more oil and hulls.

  8. Should farmers’ student loans be forgiven? -

    Two of the most commonly cited stumbling blocks to becoming a farmer are access to land and the piles of start-up capital required. For example, the price of a tractor is $25,000 and that's only a small machine. But another obstacle is student loan debt. Farmers in their first few years working as interns or apprentices, or even starting out on their own as independent farmers, they’re making a pretty low income. To pay a student loan on top of that is very expensive and almost impossible.
