Default These Technologies Are Changing Farms in Some Surprising Ways


This is a very interesting read. I can see impact to food cost,
migrant worker hiring and application of fertilizers and pesticides.
Interesting plans for reshaping orchards to flat walls.

It is interesting. Automation will be needed to efficiently feed 8 or
10 billion people in the future.

There will also be some societal changes too. Right now we are in a
flux and probably will be for a few years. We want to build a wall to
keep people out, but we want our fields picked cheap.

Chemicals, especially pesticides will go under a revolution too. I
think the quest for organics will push the changes. They probably won't
be eliminated but will be more specialized and targeted to do more with
less.

I also wonder if the earth will have a catastrophic event that will wipe
out a large portion of the population. Plague, volcano, war,
earthquake, whatever.

Mostly, humans will be eating synthesized foods made from algae or some other simple, fast growing plant. Mostly, it's going to be generic food material like puppy chow but food will be cheap and there will be enough for most of the world. People will be appalled at the idea of eating animal flesh.

Ah, Soylent Yellow and Soylent Red. Followed by the even more nutritious
Soylent Green.

The algae tests that I have read about were researching cheap energy
(fuel) sources

I can guarantee you, I will never be eating algae products. I don't eat
tofu, never will. And there will never be a time in my life when I eat
food that comes out of a 3-D printer.

It's all the same thing - converting sunlight into biomass. Then converting biomass to food or energy.

Tofu isn't so bad. It's like fresh mozzarella. White,
moist, and basically flavorless.

It does absorb other flavors beautifully, though.

the advantage is that algae is such a fact grower and needs very
little to support it.

It will be the future because it's going to be dirt cheap to produce food cubes i.e., profitable. We won't be eating algae anyway - just food made from the raw materials from it. If had a choice between a Big Mac or food cubes at buck or so, I'd take the cubes. It's going to be a lot cheaper and healthier.

You know how people could see how electricity could change everything back over a hundred years or so ago? This is the same thing.

But you'll need blue food combined with yellow to make green food.

It's simply the way technology has a disruptive effect on society. I was at a drugstore (chemist?) today and saw a scientific calculator on sale. This got me thinking about when I started college. We learned to do large number calculations on a slide rule. One day some kid brought in a Sears 4 function hand-held calculator. It was amazing and sold for only $99. By the time I graduated, HP was selling scientific calculators for $600. Hoo boy! The generic Chinese calculator I saw today was going for $11. If I had one of those back in the early 70's, I'd probably be the king of the world by now.

I saw a segment on the Today Show yesterday morning. They're standing
outside of Rockefeller Center in NYC and a chef is making stir-fried
rice using "riced" cauliflower in place of actual rice.

I've definitely heard of using cauliflower as a sub for potatoes if
you're low carbing. And I do love cauliflower. But no way does it
taste like potatoes. And sorry, but I doubt riced cauliflower will have
the same texture as rice. I could be wrong. <shrug>

Of course the hosts all ooohed and ahhhhed over it everything she did
with cauliflower. She even riced it with mushrooms, said bake it for 30
minutes, then used it as a sub for beef in tacos. Okay...

Fortunately, cauliflower is pretty bland so it does take on the flavours
of whatever you add to it.

I wonder why, in these days of emphasis on health. The colour of
cauliflower doesn't suggest it's such a healthy vegetable.

I don't like hummus anyway. Love chick peas, they're great in certain
spicy soups. Hummus, ho hum. Love sesame seeds. But mashed together
with chick peas (aka garbanzo beans) to make some sort of dip, no thanks.

Making hummas with cauliflower (she included a can of chick peas)
doesn't make it any more interesting. I guess we're not hoity toity
enough to appreciate such things.

Yes it is versatile and for people who low carb for medical reasons, it's
not about something having exactly the same taste or texture like the
original (potatoes versus cauliflower for instance) but about acceptable
substitutions, and it makes an acceptable good tasting substitute for a lot
of things.

Have you tried it? I haven't and am curious, but I definitely like zucchini
hummus so I might try that.

There's a Syrian deli here that makes a tabouli-type salad with roasted
cauliflower chopped pretty small. I don't know if it's traditional,
but it's delicious.

It's cold, and you dip cold food into it. Of course you don't like it.
It doesn't take Carnac the Magnificent to predict that.

I prefer my hummus a little on the chunky side. Pureed smooth, it
is a little boring.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard how delicious cauliflower
rice is. I'd try it if someone put it in front of me, if nothing else
I like cauliflower.

I went to the farmer's market yesterday and found some "hummus" made with breadfruit instead of chickpeas. It was pretty good. I also bought some kulolo - a pudding made with taro, coconut, and sugar. The babies love stuff made with taro. It's interesting.

I don't but D loves cauliflower rice. I put it through a fine slicer and it
breaks up into 'rice'. I cook it in the MW for 9 minutes. No water.

The reason I don't put it through a 'grater' is that the 'rice' gets too
small and it goes mushy when cooked.

My guess is that all babies like poi. They somehow sense that it's good to eat.

I don't know what poi is but I'll take your word for it and assume
that it tastes a lot better than it sounds.

It probably does not. Most adults that have never tasted poi will have a fairly negative reaction. After it's been fermented for a couple of days, it has a yogurt-like tangy taste. That's the stuff popular with the older generation.

Babies take naturally to poi. That's what's interesting about it. Taro that has been pounded and not thinned down with water is called "paiai." Poi is paiai with water added. My guess is that paiai is going to be popular with the younger generation because poi will be associated with old folks and tourists.

I sometimes rice it and use it for breakfast with a bit of cream, sweetener,
and cinnamon. I like it, but I'm sure some wouldn't.

They actually called them mashed potatoes? I've only ever heard them called
fauxtatoes, or mashed cauliflower. I like it mashed with cream cheese, milk,
butter etc. To me it's as good but certainly not the same. I also like
imitation crab, but it's pretty carby so I don't buy it often.

> I detest zucchini in any form.


We love zucchini in any other form...
Of course, they have to be fresh, i.e. "squeaky" and juicy with sticky juice.
Otherwise or if over-fertilised they spoil easily and taste bitter.
The right stuff stays fresh for weeks at room temperature - and I'm
talking about the small ones. The big ones stay much longer, even when
the skin's still edible.

Ratatouille
With bechamel and cheese
Gratin dauphinois with less cream or milk and some grated zucchini instead
Fricot (zucchini and chick peas are the main ingredients here)
Filled with meat or whatever you like
Fried Korean style - with garlic, hot peppers, roasted sesame seed oil,
a little sugar, soy sauce and a little vinegar to taste
Coated and fried
Grilled - sliced lengthwise and brushed with a little olive oil
....

Bye, Sanne.

No, and I won't. I detest zucchini in any form.

D likes them cooked one way ... I spiralise them so they look like
spaghetti, add spiralised carrot, chopped leeks and diced mushrooms. I use
them as a side dish.

Be wary. Be very wavy. I love cauliflower, but it has a very distinct
flavor. Rice it is not.

I don't like it at all, but D loves it with a sauce or mixed with mushrooms
and onions and served as a veg with meat.

I sometimes rice it and use it for breakfast with a bit of cream, sweetener,
and cinnamon. I like it, but I'm sure some wouldn't.

You had me at the cream but the cinnamon ... but you knew that)

I tried the spiralised zucchini once, but it's not for me. If you
combined all he other ingredients I'd like the combination.
