They mention 70 tons per hectare. That’s 1.43 pounds per square foot.
To grow 1000 pounds would require an area 26 ft by 26 ft.
For a product worth less than $1000.
Counting space, heat, light, equipment - doesn’t sound like a paying proposition.

- imtringued 6y agoThe waste is called bran and it's usually fed to animals or sold as is (supply exceeds demand by a huge margin though).
- tonyarkles 6y agoOf course! Not sure why I had such a brain fart thinking about that. Thanks!
