This is the solution if we have a decade long event, but we need time to implement this - you can't just set up millions of acres of indoor growing space overnight.
Ideally, we need a couple of years food in storage together with detailed plans for how to grow food indoors (if needed).
- aptwebapps 9y agoWith that kind of incentive, I bet we could do a lot in a short amount of time. It doesn't have to be that high-tech, does it?
- danieltillett 9y agoWar is probably the best way to estimate the time required. The USA took 18 months to switch over to a full war economy in WWII. We might be able to do it in less, but ideally we have in place a couple of years worth of food.
- Retric 9y agoSpace is not an actual problem with farm land. Setting up LED lights outside is a vastly easier solution. Remember, there would still be natural light, just significantly less.
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoOh I agree. I'd still love to see it happen in at least an experimental form. It sounds so ideal if everything works out (especially making automated systems far easier for automatic harvesting).
