Lots of exciting things going on in this space. There is also an Open Source Movement that came out of the MiT Media Lab, called OpenAg (https://www.media.mit.edu/groups/open-agriculture-openag/overview/ https://www.media.mit.edu/groups/open-agriculture-openag/ove...) which has created a platform for folks like our company, Open Agriculture Supply (https://www.openagriculturesupply.com/ https://www.openagriculturesupply.com/) to create "Food Computers" which are climate controlled boxes that grow food for you indoors.
All open source, all on the same platform.
The future of farming is indoors, distributed, hyper local, and vertical.
Also check out the book that started it all "The Vertical Farm" by Dr. Dickson Despommier,
