I don’t see farms of the future being outdoors because of the need for climate control and the decreasing availability of land competing with housing and other developments. Even beyond that, there’s issues with soil quality that seem to suggest something like hydroponics would be more efficient.
- Bakary 4y agoClimate controlling tens of millions of square kilometers of arable land is not feasible, unless we are already at a technological and energy producing stage where our current problems are all resolved anyway.
- throwawayKiwi9 4y agoThere's tons of land unused in the US. But I also agree with you. I haven't played with this one yet, but it looks very nice for automated hydroponic setups. https://github.com/kizniche/Mycodo https://github.com/kizniche/Mycodo
