"It's the advantage of being brown." 😂😂👌 But absolutely an interesting process, love watching these videos.
I moved to Southern California a couple years ago and agave is everywhere so it's really interesting to me all the stuff the farmers tell you about it. Very cool!
You know the world is screwed when media makes "protecting food source" as a mainstream thing.
and then makes the first half of the video about alcohol
@@patrickormerod3472😂YES for real. We need to mobilize all the coconut coir, coconut husk fiber, for improving soil structure, and then plant perennial food gardens. It would solve a lot of problems. Then legalize all the criminalized plants, many of which seriously empower us to do the work required.
That’s always been humanity’s deal tho, food security. Don’t worry we’ll be fine friend, we have more food security than ever before, we need to be more worried about fertilizer security
@@panicpills1777 Amen, or more broadly, a fertility-cultivation program or practices going forward. We don't need more synthetic, water soluble, high-NPK salt crystal fertilizers. What we do need to to is to begin to cultuvate soils, deepening structure, complexity, microbial brilliance, and available organic matter, including returned or freshly deposited compost or pre-compost goodies, to continually add to both the nutrient-richness and availability, AND the fibrous structure of the soils. It can get better and better every years potentially. Many plants could even be thought of as excellent providers for this generation of complex, fibrous, organic matter, that through microbial amd mechanical breakdown, gives way to imcreased volume of a substrate better than any soil there was before. Organic microbial ecology, and harnessing the forces of soil 🌷🧿🍄 is not a zero-sum game. Nature makes way for multiplicity, and limitless potential unfoldment.💙
Yeah,,
Why should anyone protect food sources!!
You must be a nut
Interesting. I could watch these videos all week. Headed to liquor store to get mezcal
Gmos, and the man than pioneered them, won a nobel peace prize. He saved more lives than ANY SINGLE PERSON in the history of this planet. By far. He saved billions of lives, billions from utter mass starvation.
If anyone deserves to be looked at as a hero, its that man. Norman Borlaug is his name. And he was never greedy with it. Never.
Frankenstein was pieced together in a lab and so were GMO's. GMO's are Frankenstein food.
@@nills2gills811Sorry to inform you, but this argument is only going to work with 10 year olds.
@@nills2gills811Frankenstein was the doctor, not the creation.

@@mandas677 I read the book, youre acting like you missed the point entirely. WOw
I went to UF and live in Gainesville still.... I have very healthy backyard orange and lemon trees.... after watching this, since I'm not an expert in agriculture, I did my best to assess my trees and was so pleased to see that they are very healthy and producing extra large and more fruit each year for the past 5 years.... so UF- if you need my trees help... im a Gator and just down the road! 💙🧡🍊🍋
Its absolutely insane all the crazy stuff people consume like for example medications, snack foods ect.. but they draw the line at gmo food..
It's a trigger word. People hear "genetically modified" and would probably imagine a 5 headed fish or something like that. It's like when people hear "nuclear" reactors they would imagine meltdowns, fallouts, and bombs.
You go eat that shit and tell me how you feel after a year or 5 years. When you get cancer, you'll know it was from eating GMO poison. It's no longer food when it's been genetically modified.
@@turtlelore2exactly this. Is just pure ignorance.
Gmos, and the guy who pioneered them, won a nobel peace prize. Why? Cause he saved more people than any single person ever has in the entire history of this planet. By far. He saved billions of lives. With a B.
Gmos, and like good soap and penicillin/effective anti biotics, have saved more people than anything else.
It infuriates me when people attack gmos for that very reason. So many people would have died starving if it wasn't for gmos. It saved so many countries from utter mass starvation.
Makes sense since many snack foods are made from gmo food and medicines are used for mitigating it's side effects
Frankenstein was pieced together in a lab and so were GMO's. GMO's are Frankenstein food.
The GMO thing drives me nuts. Our breeding isn't too different yet when we speed the process in a lab people panic.
There's a huge difference between natural cross breeding of plants to make babies and taking poisonous genes and inserting them into food so that you can spray them with weed killers and insecticides and not kill the plant. Only a psychopath or an idiot thinks GMOs are a good thing.
Its literally a shortcut, they need time to understand these plants not unnatural strains
Frankenstein was pieced together in a lab and so were GMO's. GMO's are Frankenstein food.
Yeah specially considering the fruit itself is entirely sterile, its literally just a fast forward button on the cavandish fixing the problem on the spot.
@@nills2gills811Frankenstein was fiction written over a rainy vacation, as a competition between bored writers…ie: entertainment.
We have been eating GM foods for most of our lives. Carrots were originally only purple, now they are orange. Everything has been modified to grow faster for demand.
I love that the title says brilliant ways farms produce Americas food and drinks and almost all of the farms were in mexico
Yeah, crazy that Mexico is part of the Americas.....central America 😂
I work in a produce department in America and people are unreasonably afraid of GMOs. Like… without changing the genetic structure (either through breeding or modifying in other ways), we wouldn’t have almost *any* of the food we have right now.
*grabs Walmart banana from kitchen* Thank you sir!
35:50 Happy to eat'em daily brother, thanks for all the limes!
Never liked tequila, tried mezcal in NY and is waaaaay better. Also manager told us tequila is mixed with chemicals and other sugars and mezcal is 100% natural 🧐
There is so much inaccuracy in this statement, I will be slow to unpack it. All tequila is mezcal, but tequila is specifically blue agave, while mezcal can be other types of agave, and doesn't have to be 100% agave. Now, the additive thing. Some 'de agave' brands add a few specific allowable additives, things like sweeteners, but they cannot exceed 1% by volume. Then, the tequila has three types: Blanco, reposado, and anejo, though there is sometimes extra anejo. Blanco has not aged in a barrel at all, so think vodka straight from the pot. The others represent times of aging in barrels, taking on the color and flavor of the wood. Both mezcal and tequila are protected names.
thx for clarifying!@@ChadWilson
@@ChadWilsonMy favorite is Raicilla, and only the Raicilla I get from the source which is small distilleries in western Jalisco
17:57 thats Taiwan (East Asia), South East Asia start a little bit lower, from The Philippines downwards, right below where the TR4 disease start in the infographics. hope this can clarify it and not being Captain Smarty Pants for pointing it out. I like video from IB, very educational and broaden up my perspective.
The banan issue in Colombia is dealt by planting different breeds, within the same field or cultivation. That leads to stopping of spreading these kinds of diseases. No modern scientific intervention, just age old technique that is proven right by trial and error, thanks to our ancestors.
What a great show!!
Utube is so educational and instructional for everyone world wide!! Its great!! So everyone knows whats going on in the world !!
It's mostly trash. We could do better
good day im new friend nice i like this very interesting vedio big farming product very informative great shareng fullwatching her godbless and keep safe
very good
In my country we have 4 main banana varieties that sell like hot water. So it amazing that their countries that have only one variety
MATOOKE- steamed in banana leave n a meal staple. There are many homes that have to have it as part of their meal every. It's called the food. Rice or irish are called accompaniments.
BOGOYA - Its not cavendish but its the closest i could relate it to. Very tasty. N a fruit when hungry n need a quick bust
NDIZI - these are small almost half the size of the cavendish. We call them sweet bananas. Their sweetness is .... i don't how to discribe it. But people sometimes say. The sweetness on bogoya is for am adult. The one of Ndizi is for children 😅😅.
GONJA - this is what is known as plantain.
How we tell the organic from GMO. GMOs are tasteless if you know the taste of the original.
We have 3 varieties here. Plantations, a more redish-brown banana species that is larger than cavendish but also far tastier and better for baking with and cavendish. Its interesting to see all these fruits and also very important to understand that our current system of monoculture is quite back. Sure meaningful improvements are expensive and costly but it has so many benefits alas when people are comfy they rather not get off their seats. The entire banana industry of the Americas has a dark past to it due to this.
When it comes to GMO plants getting genes from other plants are very rarely a problem. Where problems show up is when animal genes are given to plants or vice versa and the results can be proteins not found in nature but even some of them have medical potential.
You don't know what you re talking about.
GMOs Can disseminate herbicide résistance gènes to non GMO plantes.
When every plantes will be GMO, it's game over.
I don't understand whats with the stress against GMOs. The "natural" way is just a slower and more random version of gmos.
Garden life the best. Grow your own
18:53 damn that got me..
Anyone else thought they had a Windows error sound at 0:50?
I've been to that OJ plant before. And if you don't know what to expect when you go to a juicing plant. You can expect your eyes, nose & throat to burn with all the acid in the air. Yeah it was an eye 👀 opening experience 😂.
It's as if we should follow nature
This is the problem with monoculture planting, pests and disease can devastate whole crops.
I feel bad for the 1st one. So, government really does ruin everything, huh?
It sounds like we need a new banana, maybe revert back to an earlier species and try again.
The thing is: A: other species don't hold up during travel, or B: just isn't that aesthetically pleasing to look at (and yeah, that matters more than you think on the global market). So either pay a premium for transport, or just buy "weird-looking" (but otherwise perfectly fine-tasting) bananas
@@craggleshenanigansThat doesn't matter for any non foolish people.
We're literally gaslighting oranges into growing limes lol
That’s not a horse 😂😂😂 it’s a mule!
Yay
i love avocado
7-35 years for a single agave to be harvested
LOL of course Insider Business would present this as multinational agro companies doing good.
❤️👍
SO they are basically making moonshine
I am from the government
I am here to help
So everything is GMO now
All crops and livestock have always been gmo ever since we domesticated them
@@panicpills1777Absolutely not fool. You can ask EU
Decentralized certification gives better outcomes.
Adding corn sugar syrup to anything.
You dont need any more.
Could bananas be grown with seeds ?
Surround the non gmo bananas with the gmo bananas so they won’t get infected
People who freaks out about GMO are the same people that freaks out about dihydrogen monoxide being present in most food.
Frankenstein was pieced together in a lab and so were GMO's. GMO's are Frankenstein food.
@@nills2gills811 ... I'm not sure if you're being serious or not with that logic. If it's the first, then your country's education has clearly failed you.
@@al6243 believe whatever you want.
Huh. Never liked Cavendish. Other bananas are available
They really call the heart of the agave the Piña? LMAO. What do they call a Piña then?
Netting systems best. One time invested, insect cannot access the tree and fruits. Thick Orange Cordial is delicious mix with bottled dry salted plum cordial. The cordial, have longer shelf time in the fridge after open
The irony 😂
Cant we make fake soil not like nutritional soil structural soil?
If you want your bananas you're going to have to get GMOs. All of our corn is already a GMO. Get over yourselves people
Don't know what your corn tastes like but ours is crap .. skin is way too thick to enjoy. I don't bother eating it anymore, most of the time it's not as sweet as when I was a child.
@@leeoconnor123 we have gmo corn, and it’s flavourful and delicious. Sweet and all. Hasn’t changed a bit in taste since I was little
I like how at 1:20 The translator put that it sounds like a jingle bell when what the woman actually said is that it sounds like a rattlesnake
The bananas we eat now days are garbage in flavor
she plants a seed of agave to harvest after 35 years? any no body got time for that😂
Wished this had happened in the developing countries too 😢
It's not a fruit it's a Barry god damit.
Im so tired of these hippies claiming everything GMO is bad..
Are they eating corn, rice, wheat? Like wtf
Tequila tastes like dirt
Bh
Why do we care about these backwoods stills? @13:08 nothing stoping him from getting a bank loan or finding someone to partner with. I'm just a poor Mexican agave famer...I know nothing of business senior. Not like I can't google it or send my kid to school to learn how to make a business plan for me to take me into the 21st century.
The disease originated in.......
The shame is American food has so many chemicals that other countries don't allow. Not to mention marketing. There is no imperfect food when it is nutritonally viable.
tasteless 😮
- I *certainly* do *NOT* CONSIDER MEXICANS, AMERICAN AT ALL !!
Covid 19 is awesome
A name of "black" in the south... I'm hoping that someone in his family was a blacksmith.
Why
I hate they recycle their videos
