Are you being serious?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
"Only a few hours a day for plants."
About half the day is decidated to sunshine, give or take. It's been this way for ... since plants.
"Huge swaths of the earth..."
Don't grow there. Don't live there. People don't live in volcanoes for a reason. It's too inhospitable. OTO, you could import your goods via plane/copter/whatever if you're brave. Good on you.
We're already able to grow tropical fruit 1,500 feet up in the freezing Alps with no (artificial) chemicals/fertilizers/pesticides and effective (natural) water management. Can't imagine it will be much more difficult in growth friendly places.

- spraak 7y agoYes, Sepp Holzer! It's refreshing to see other people, especially among the HN demographic, to know of work like his and permaculture in general given the general obsession with specific myopic forms of technology (like to whom you're replying here); i.e. I still see permaculture as a kind of technology, just a different kind than what most modern conventional farms use.
