>It would be awesome if people living far from traditional agricultural areas could access fresh greens without insane transportation costs (both financial and environmental) That's what actually got me started. A head of lettuce on average 1200 miles (https://ucanr.edu/datastoreFiles/608-319.pdf https://ucanr.edu/datastoreFiles/608-319.pdf) and it is so disconnected from the site of consumption. My vision is to have distributed farms (as opposed to conventional wisdom, i have found that smaller indoor farms will be more profitable) every eight blocks or so. Not really- It's quite manual (as of now). I had to change my country almost three times since I started; so I'm rather focussing more on data, and training algorithms part to figure out the right parameters (and the farm is a just a testbed). One example would be to have a $5 camera for measuring growth than buying a $100 3D what not camera.
