Most INSANE Farms Around The World You NEVER Knew Existed!

Welcome back to Down on the Farm, today on the channel we are going to check out the Strangest Farms Around The World. Farming was one of the great steps in the development of human civilization. The ability to grow the necessities of life freed humans from the need to scavenge and live a nomadic lifestyle. Now for our convenience almost everything is produced by intensive agriculture. Some types of farming are done on a smaller scale however, if the things they produce are more unusual. Here are some of the strangest farms in the world, or above it.

Bird Nests. Soups are pretty easy meals to make and benefit from the fact you can throw almost any ingredient you happen to have to hand in them. That hasn’t stopped people looking for extra rare foods to add to their soups. Bird nest soup is a delicacy made almost entirely from the spit that swiftlet birds use to create their nests. When the nests are dissolved in a soup they produce a gloopy texture that is particularly sought after. The problem is that the birds create their nests in hard to reach places. Traditionally those who collected the nests clambered up bamboo poles to cut the nests down. The difficulty and danger of this has made the dried bird nests among the most expensive animal food products in the world. Still, despite now being a farmable commodity bird nest soup is still expensive. Or expensive for a dish of bird saliva. Space Farm. If humans ever want to colonise space then they will have to come up with ways to grow food without the benefit of Earth under them. While plants have been grown on space stations and satellites before, the crops were always sent back home – not for lunch but for study by scientists. It was only in 2015 that astronauts first ate food produced in space. Using a system known as Veggie the astronauts on the International Space Station grew their first crop of Red Romaine Lettuce. By using LEDs as a source of light for the plants the system doesn’t waste energy on producing heat. They can also be tuned to specific wavelengths that can best be used by different crops for maximum efficiency. Finish the video for more of the Strangest Farms Around The World.
