At the time there were a lot of rice paddies水稻 around.
Actually, I lived on a farm for a year, my friend owned a huge chicken farm.
On this farm, there were many barns穀倉 but they were also crops農作物 all around the farm.
I didn't really help with the work on the farm.
I enjoyed living in The Farmhouse.
I'm sure you enjoyed eating some of the chicken, right? cuz they had so many chickens to spare.
It was kind of hard to connect that to actually eating them
t's kind of hard to connect that to actually eating them.
When you think of a farm do you think of a large outdoor area or a tall building?  
For me, I think of a large outdoor area naturally. what about you?
I do think of a large area I think I've seen farms in the landscape as I'm driving to the country.
Today we are going to learn how to farm in a building with our lesson called Vertical Farming.<<Host description

◎VERTICAL FARMING: Taking Food Production in a Different Direction. 
◎Can high-tech indoor farming towers save the world?   
◎Our world has more people than ever before. We're also living longer on average than ever before.
◎A bigger population means increased urban and industrial land development.
◎With more people but less farmland, how will we feed everyone?
◎One possible solution to our increasing food demands is vertical farming, a method which attempts to grow the greatest amount of food using space more efficiently.
◎In vertical farming, food doesn't grow in the traditional way - horizontally in fields.
◎Instead, trays of plants are stacked vertically in a tower structure, often in existing buildings.
