  • 00:00:00
    today we are visiting true garden it's a
  • 00:00:02
    vertical aeroponic food farm I was
  • 00:00:05
    really excited to go here because I
  • 00:00:06
    originally stumbled across true garden
  • 00:00:09
    and their farm on Instagram and it's so
  • 00:00:12
    cool-looking it's just a series of
  • 00:00:14
    columns that are covered in different
  • 00:00:17
    vegetables and fruits that are
  • 00:00:19
    completely fresh and I was mostly
  • 00:00:21
    interested to see what the biology of
  • 00:00:24
    growing food was like because vertical
  • 00:00:27
    farms grow food in a very different and
  • 00:00:30
    sustainable way
  • 00:00:31
    my name's Troy Albright I'm actually a
  • 00:00:33
    licensed pharmacist as I've done consult
  • 00:00:36
    on my patients I realize it starts with
  • 00:00:38
    the food they're putting in their body
  • 00:00:39
    Troy is a licensed pharmacist by trade
  • 00:00:43
    he went through school in the very
  • 00:00:45
    modern medical way of doing things and
  • 00:00:48
    through the process of having children
  • 00:00:50
    of his own with their own el misses and
  • 00:00:53
    conditions and also being overweight
  • 00:00:56
    himself he changed how he approached
  • 00:00:59
    food and what he put in his body and it
  • 00:01:01
    changed everything for him in his family
  • 00:01:03
    my parents and grandparents were farmers
  • 00:01:04
    in Minnesota and we had blacks well
  • 00:01:07
    they're here in Arizona the soil is like
  • 00:01:09
    this red clay stuff so if you don't
  • 00:01:11
    amend it and really work that soil you
  • 00:01:14
    don't get a lot of good quality produce
  • 00:01:15
    out of it so when I saw the tower garden
  • 00:01:18
    I can control the environment I control
  • 00:01:21
    the water I control the nutrients I love
  • 00:01:24
    this I can control every aspect of
  • 00:01:26
    growing my own food so how does this
  • 00:01:28
    whole process work basically the first
  • 00:01:31
    step is to put whatever sees you want
  • 00:01:33
    into the coconut core this grow medium
  • 00:01:36
    here is coco coir it's actually a
  • 00:01:38
    certified organic grow medium and it's a
  • 00:01:40
    byproduct of coconut husk and you throw
  • 00:01:42
    it put your seeds in there and then once
  • 00:01:44
    they're 1 to 2 inches tall like this
  • 00:01:45
    then we can come over here and and just
  • 00:01:47
    plant these right in here they fit right
  • 00:01:49
    in the in the pod you throw it in the
  • 00:01:52
    pump turns on every 3 to 15 minutes to
  • 00:01:54
    being on the program pumps the water and
  • 00:01:56
    the nutrient solution all the way up to
  • 00:01:58
    the top and then just using the long
  • 00:01:59
    view of physics what goes up comes down
  • 00:02:02
    right and it just rains down there's a
  • 00:02:04
    shower cap rains down and hits all these
  • 00:02:07
    spots
  • 00:02:08
    I find interesting is that you only need
  • 00:02:10
    that amount of soil like you and fishing
  • 00:02:13
    just miles and miles of dirt and soil to
  • 00:02:16
    grow plants right you only need that
  • 00:02:18
    okay yep very from every different plant
  • 00:02:22
    that you're drawing
  • 00:02:23
    nope just that small mount it's actually
  • 00:02:25
    not even soil it's coconut husk if we
  • 00:02:26
    use soil we'd have a lot more bugs we'd
  • 00:02:28
    have to use pesticides and herbicides
  • 00:02:30
    and fungicides I choose not to use any
  • 00:02:32
    of those here Organic is what that's
  • 00:02:35
    clean
  • 00:02:35
    yep just food yeah do you think that's
  • 00:02:37
    really happening today well by the way
  • 00:02:39
    you vegetables typically that are
  • 00:02:44
    transported into your state by law even
  • 00:02:47
    if they're organic are sprayed with
  • 00:02:49
    pesticides so that's not ideal the
  • 00:02:52
    problem is our soils are depleted there
  • 00:02:54
    the FDA has lots of studies showing that
  • 00:02:56
    when those leafy greens are cut and
  • 00:02:58
    travel what on average 1200 to 1500
  • 00:03:00
    miles to get to your plate yeah
  • 00:03:04
    pesticides are there 50 percent less
  • 00:03:07
    nutrients they've lost up to 50 percent
  • 00:03:08
    in some cases there's hardly any
  • 00:03:11
    nutritional value
  • 00:03:12
    [Music]
  • 00:03:17
    here look at some of this basil let's
  • 00:03:21
    grab a beautiful basil point you pull
  • 00:03:23
    this out look at those beautiful roots
  • 00:03:24
    on there I mean look at that that's
  • 00:03:28
    insane
  • 00:03:29
    this is 21 days old yeah the vegetables
  • 00:03:32
    that we saw at true garden were just
  • 00:03:34
    growing right there
  • 00:03:36
    there was no soil there was minimal
  • 00:03:39
    water it was really just their roots
  • 00:03:41
    hanging in these hollow tubes being
  • 00:03:44
    saturated in nutrients and substances
  • 00:03:47
    and growing to be the most beautiful
  • 00:03:48
    vegetables if we pull one out here it's
  • 00:03:51
    like a beautiful bouquet let's get one
  • 00:03:54
    out of here so you can see I mean the
  • 00:03:56
    Ritz and you got these beautiful rich I
  • 00:03:58
    know my bouquets gonna be for my wedding
  • 00:04:00
    oh my gosh it's so stop yeah isn't that
  • 00:04:02
    something
  • 00:04:03
    once you try a piece of that vegetables
  • 00:04:06
    have a much more vibrant and bolder and
  • 00:04:10
    fuller flavor then I think most of us
  • 00:04:13
    have experienced feel like it tastes
  • 00:04:15
    different than what I'm used like I feel
  • 00:04:17
    like most romaine lettuce tastes so
  • 00:04:19
    watered down right summer's over this is
  • 00:04:21
    even better Peter I don't feel like I've
  • 00:04:23
    ever tasted romaine that was this sweet
  • 00:04:25
    it's stronger it's more unique from
  • 00:04:28
    vegetable to vegetable because you're
  • 00:04:30
    not getting that dirt flavor a lot of
  • 00:04:32
    that comes from growing the fruit or
  • 00:04:35
    vegetable in this coconut husk and
  • 00:04:37
    feeding it with these nutrient
  • 00:04:39
    substances without any soil it's amazing
  • 00:04:43
    I don't know how I haven't eaten
  • 00:04:45
    was this fresh before and I feel like
  • 00:04:47
    everyone needs to like I buy expensive
  • 00:04:50
    freaking spinach at the store I'm all
  • 00:04:53
    organic everything I hold paycheck at
  • 00:04:56
    Whole Foods it happens but it doesn't
  • 00:04:58
    taste like this when they grow most
  • 00:05:00
    spinach in sand so a lot of times when
  • 00:05:02
    you crunch on spinach
  • 00:05:03
    you got like a grainy yep that's the
  • 00:05:06
    sand that they grow it in so you always
  • 00:05:08
    want to rinse it well and get rid of
  • 00:05:10
    that whatever the craziest things I
  • 00:05:11
    tried was the stevia leaf here try just
  • 00:05:14
    a piece of this okay
  • 00:05:16
    just a really small amount what is that
  • 00:05:21
    it's a natural plant sweetener I just
  • 00:05:23
    want to eat this as like an after-dinner
  • 00:05:25
    dessert and then I will never eat ice
  • 00:05:28
    cream again look I mean that's so sweet
  • 00:05:30
    isn't it yeah I have had the stevia
  • 00:05:33
    powder but never a stevia leaf oh that
  • 00:05:35
    is Stephen this is the actual stevia
  • 00:05:37
    plant here Wow you gonna use it in so
  • 00:05:41
    many things and it is so powerful I also
  • 00:05:43
    tried a mint chocolate herb and it
  • 00:05:46
    tasted just like mint chocolate so once
  • 00:05:49
    we have a sprout we put it in the tower
  • 00:05:51
    26 days later do you have that thing so
  • 00:05:54
    this whole thing was 26 days yes nice so
  • 00:05:58
    what happens is you get accelerated
  • 00:06:01
    growth because the roots can get a lot
  • 00:06:03
    of oxygen since there's no soil there's
  • 00:06:06
    no weeds which is amazing because puling
  • 00:06:10
    weeds
  • 00:06:10
    is literally the worst weekend activity
  • 00:06:13
    ever vertical farming it's just your
  • 00:06:16
    head of lettuce or your kale or your
  • 00:06:18
    spinach or your berries or your tomatoes
  • 00:06:20
    no bucks no weeds what is the actual
  • 00:06:23
    benefit of having a vertical farm versus
  • 00:06:26
    having a normal farm that were using a
  • 00:06:28
    big part of it is with the vertical farm
  • 00:06:30
    we're really saving on space we can use
  • 00:06:33
    ninety percent less land but we can grow
  • 00:06:35
    ninety percent more food when you go
  • 00:06:38
    Brook like this this is one tenth of an
  • 00:06:40
    acre we can grow 10 times more food as a
  • 00:06:43
    result of going vertical plus our
  • 00:06:46
    resources we use 90 to 98 percent less
  • 00:06:49
    water that's huge I mean what 3 percent
  • 00:06:52
    of the water in the in the world is
  • 00:06:53
    fresh water so it's not just a commodity
  • 00:06:55
    here in the United States but all over
  • 00:06:57
    the world having fresh
  • 00:06:59
    so we got to really conserve our
  • 00:07:01
    resources and if we don't we're setting
  • 00:07:03
    ourselves up for major catastrophe how
  • 00:07:05
    many people do you think you could feed
  • 00:07:07
    like just out of this space out of this
  • 00:07:09
    space we could easily speed gosh 100
  • 00:07:13
    families on a weekly basis Wow as we all
  • 00:07:16
    know our world is changing the land
  • 00:07:18
    available to us is changing the quality
  • 00:07:21
    soil that we have on our earth is
  • 00:07:23
    changing and this may be the most
  • 00:07:25
    sustainable way to feed our communities
  • 00:07:28
    moving forward if someone watch this
  • 00:07:30
    video and wanted to start gardening
  • 00:07:32
    tomorrow or today what would be like
  • 00:07:34
    your top three tips grow the things you
  • 00:07:38
    love to eat keep it simple
  • 00:07:40
    use clean water use good quality
  • 00:07:42
    seedlings
  • 00:07:43
    we've got residential models as well as
  • 00:07:45
    commercial farms so the residential
  • 00:07:49
    model is about five or six feet tall
  • 00:07:50
    just like you are and when the two
  • 00:07:53
    towers could easily feed a family of
  • 00:07:54
    four depend on what you're growing
  • 00:07:56
    you're gonna be exposed to less
  • 00:07:57
    chemicals you'll love it you'll really
  • 00:07:59
    love it I was a skeptic I absolutely
  • 00:08:02
    thought the biology of this food must be
  • 00:08:05
    different if we're not making it with
  • 00:08:07
    soil and the same amount of water and
  • 00:08:09
    the same amount of sunlight as the
  • 00:08:12
    vegetables and fruits were used to but
  • 00:08:14
    the matter of the fact is it's better
  • 00:08:15
    it's got more nutrients more minerals
  • 00:08:18
    it's more dense in the rich vitamins
  • 00:08:21
    that your body needs and it's just more
  • 00:08:24
    environmentally friendly you know as a
  • 00:08:26
    compounding pharmacist I do consults
  • 00:08:28
    then I got into this because I really
  • 00:08:29
    saw not just my own kids but my own
  • 00:08:31
    patients that were missed in the food
  • 00:08:33
    part they were missing that nutrition
  • 00:08:35
    part and as I corrected nutrition in
  • 00:08:38
    them I'm like oh my this changed their
  • 00:08:40
    whole life you were taught in pharmacy
  • 00:08:42
    school just give a drug give a drug give
  • 00:08:44
    a drug drugs are just band-aids they
  • 00:08:46
    don't cure us if if you don't have good
  • 00:08:49
    nutrition that foundation that we're
  • 00:08:51
    building our body on isn't there and so
  • 00:08:54
    that leads to all sorts of things you
  • 00:08:55
    know depression leaky gut your gum
  • 00:08:58
    disease people that are constantly
  • 00:09:00
    having headaches and they're not growing
  • 00:09:02
    properly our kids don't grow properly
  • 00:09:04
    because of nutrition so starts with good
  • 00:09:07
    foundation if you have a good good
  • 00:09:09
    foundation with nutrition eat it what
  • 00:09:11
    you
  • 00:09:12
    grow or buy it locally you're gonna be
  • 00:09:14
    way healthier so crazy how your diet can
  • 00:09:16
    affect pretty much everything it's hard
  • 00:09:19
    to put into a sentence how cool and
  • 00:09:22
    interesting I thought this whole
  • 00:09:23
    experience was I've always been a firm
  • 00:09:26
    believer in what you put in your body
  • 00:09:28
    matters and the food you put in your
  • 00:09:30
    body matters and we are allowing food
  • 00:09:32
    industries to spray it with pesticides
  • 00:09:34
    to transport it super far change its
  • 00:09:38
    enzymes and nutritional benefits so that
  • 00:09:40
    when we're receiving the food it's not
  • 00:09:42
    even giving us the fuel that we need to
  • 00:09:45
    survive in a healthy way the body is an
  • 00:09:47
    incredible piece of equipment machinery
  • 00:09:49
    you put good stuff in it gets good stuff
  • 00:09:52
    out you put bad stuff in in time bad
  • 00:09:55
    stuff would come out but you can't
  • 00:09:57
    correct it it just takes some some
  • 00:09:59
    effort on our part to do what's right
  • 00:10:00
    who said that Hippocrates you are what
  • 00:10:02
    you eat but food be medicine what
  • 00:10:04
    medicine be food he said a lot more
  • 00:10:06
    eloquently but you know I firmly believe
  • 00:10:09
    that true Garden was quite possibly one
  • 00:10:12
    of the most beautiful things I've ever
  • 00:10:14
    seen
  • 00:10:15
    it was pristine it was green not fake
  • 00:10:19
    green not sprayed on green it was
  • 00:10:21
    beautiful
  • 00:10:22
    vibrant green and the oxygen in that
  • 00:10:25
    greenhouse I would like to one day live
  • 00:10:27
    in a greenhouse with that pure oxygen
  • 00:10:30
