This is the greenhouse portion of the Living with the Land ride at Epcot in Orlando, Florida. The greenhouses have a whole lot of really cool experimental plants like giant pumpkin trees and tomato trees, as well as lots of hydroponics

    ‘every food you eat is genetically engineered’ that’s an incorrect statement. because engineering refers to manipulation of the genes of an organism directly. saving seeds from plants that grew well is natural and safe. the methods used for modifying these organisms is being shown to be unsafe more and more each day. it’s not the same, not even close.

    why did i waste my time seeing this noeone cares if bananas r the most popular fruit and everyone knows what a pinaple tastes like ……..no offense woofboy but i dsont care how my food is made as long as its not toxic and if its junky

    true, but those plants are a combination of similar plant genes. Corn crops don’t naturally exchange genes with jellyfish.

    Its intristing. Something you must not have the maturity to enjoy.

    that large tomatoe plant/tree is cool. I like aeroponics but it does make you think that food grow on chemical fertilizers is going to end up in the plant. The plants are what they eat also

    fish farming is stresful for fish and forcing them to live in crampped conditions is cruel. I don’t agree with that. thats not good

    Great video! Thank you

    @crock703

    The genetic manipulation and alteration of crops is a fascinating concept, but I have read reports that would recommend that combining the genes of plants and animals, to produce crops, creates new proteins that our bodies are not able to digest and there is a potential for adverse effects. This is a very nice facility. Hydroponics and aeroponics are certainly able to produce high yields. I am skeptical of the genetic alteration and combination of genes of plants and animals.

    I am selling plans on how to build Pyramid Shaped Greenhouses on ebay. I produced the plans myself. Go check it out at ebay and search: Pyramid Greenhouse Building Plans

    where is this place is, i want to visit, and can i get genetic seeds ? some one answer please if know

    Genetically Modified Organics are bad for everyone. Humans and Animals, Farmers and Comsumers.

    USDA = Monsanto
    Monsanto = Evil

    God help us all…

    genetically modefied plants are good for everyone not bad. what do you think corn is. It used to be a small grain plant like wheat.

  20. joske324 on March 17th, 2010 7:56 am

    I am not sold. You can not mimic nature and the sun well enough for me. I prefer using tried and true means of gardening and using plants that grow and diversify naturally as part of natures complex ecosytem. Genetically modified, hybrid and artificial lighting isnt good.. tempting as it may be.. you cant cut corners with nature.. pay now or pay later.

  21. joske324 on March 17th, 2010 7:58 am

    brianwesley28 I couldnt agree more!

  22. angel12235 on March 21st, 2010 9:09 pm

    @alghoraba Epcot in orlando florida. It’s part of Walt Disney World Resort. No, they dont give you any seeds. Sorry.

  23. trevronwithtechron on March 23rd, 2010 2:59 pm

    @MrRhacker1 we turned that small grain into the corn we know today by selectively planting over thousands of years, not by genetically modifying it. Watch The Future Of Food. Genetically modified crops literally have the potential to wipe out every other plant on Earth. Why do you think farmers have to buy seeds every year? because the GMO are modified to terminate after 1 season, they are actually named terminator seeds. Does that sound good for everyone?

  24. trevronwithtechron on March 23rd, 2010 3:07 pm

    @MrRhacker1 And did you know that to Genetically modify plants you have to basically inject plant cells with viruses and bacteria?

    I’ll say it once again anyone who reads this please watch The Future Of Food, or Food Inc. Start a garden this year ( I’m giving it a try) I’ve already done the most labor intensive part and I can tell you it’s definitely easier than working all day, to earn your check, and then go buy food. And anyone interested in this stuff should look into Aquaponics.

    i’LL BET ONE GEN ALTERED TOMATO THAT THERE IS ONE OR MORE “UNABOMBER TYPE “LURKING AROUND HERE’ (—;;..–) (—-;;–).
