The only valid place for this is a cruise ship. Everything else has either been done already, or stuff needs to be shipped in. Hydroponics in the middle of a drought is a disaster, it sucks huge amount of clean water. Yes, if you are careful you can use it to clean water, but again, its at the risk of importing fungus/pests. Most agriculture doesn't need high tech solutions, it needs simple ones. The biggest threat facing most farmers in the developing world are drought and pests. Drought can be managed by creating small simple dams that slow the passage of water to the sea. (lots of india for example used to do this.) The future of agritech is small, simple and cheap. The Netherlands has this other type of stuff nailed. In the developing world, land and labour are cheap, asking a farmer to buy into this style tech is like asking us to buy a small Caribbean island, impossible. The only people that can do this are the rich, who are normally the ones causing the droughts and destruction in the first place.
