Its too early to add more "Mickey Mouse math" to "food stuff" waste, but humanity will need to figure out the math/processes to a self-sustaining food supply for space exploration and habitation, so the authors timing couldn't be better. Humanity has a valid excuse to cord-cut from much of the 20th century AG and water systems and see what combination of solutions that automation, more time (fewer jerbs) and scientific leaps bring to the table in the way of working models. Even if we don't get to explore space, we should at least get to see the quality of ingredients go up exponential as we start eating more "fresh off the vine" food in our daily meals as a byproduct of the research. If they can get the angle right and ride the coat-tails of space expansion, they'll cut thru decades of red-tape to bypass the existing infrastructure and entrenched investors to clear a path for sustainable agriculture research.
