I don't really think this counts as a 'minimum viable product' -- this is some speculation of square footage and location for a small farm. A greenhouse (which is what the author is essentially designing) requires a lot of interlocking systems to work properly (most natural greenhouses rely on the sun/environment to handle these but I believe the author wants a self-contained system running entirely on electricity). How will harvesting, watering, seeding, pest maintenance, airflow, environmental regulation work? How will deviations from optimal conditions be detected? It would be interesting to see a 'farm in a shipping container,' especially once a realistic cost estimate comes out. I highly doubt this would be cheaper than factory farming but it might stabilize things with respect to fuel/transportation costs.
