It will never, ever, be able to out compete Dirt + Sun.
- mikepurvis 11y agoThat's my gut instinct— and there are so many secondary services which nature provides you for free out there, like pollination. And yet, the article does make some pretty compelling points, especially about year-round yield, continuous yield, and isolation from environmental factors like drought, pests, etc. What's actually most exciting to me is greater integration of food production directly into the places where people live and work. Why have a separate vertical farm when it could be the two floors above your company cafeteria, and the lettuce in your lunch literally never left the premises? _That_ is really exciting to me.
