Underground Farming: Transforming Tokyo's Financial District into an Oasis of Calm

The video explores an underground farm located beneath a skyscraper, where a former bank vault has been transformed into a high-tech agricultural space. This farm uses advanced technology to control growing conditions for over 100 plant species, including strawberries and rice, allowing for year-round cultivation. The project, initiated by the agricultural staff agency Persona, aims to train the jobless in agriculture. Despite high costs, the farm demonstrates potential for faster and cleaner plant growth. With Japan's low food self-sufficiency and environmental concerns, underground farming could become a key growth industry, offering a solution to space constraints in urban areas.
