Economics of a Chinese 26-Storey Vertical Pig Farm?
Just saw an article about a pig farm building in China that's 26 storeys high and supposedly features state of the art equipment. I'm not a farming expert but doesn't this look like a very poor use of land and resources?
I'd argue the opposite. Good use of concentrating real estate and taking advantage of tech to literally go vertical in their organization. Not to mention, has anyone seen the essentially mechanical chicken farms that firms like Tyson operate here in the US? There's documentaries on it out there. It's honestly amazing to some of us that we haven't done something like that pig farm ourselves here already.
The savings you'd supposedly make by using tech to make operations more efficient seem to be offset by the higher rates of disease spreading/mutation you would get with such high densities. Also the farm isn't located in a super urban area so the land costs wouldn't be the number one issue (compared to the high costs of building a mini sky-scraper)
