- bombcar 4y agoThe whole "elevator pitch" idea is that you could put these vertical farms inside the major cities. But that's not really needed unless the city is on the moon, and even then, you have lots of space if you just build a bit of transportation.
- defrost 4y agoAustralia has million acre pastoral farms .. and there is still a price point for dense bulk market garden produce fresh every month source adjacent to the major urban centres to minimise transportation costs .. as there is across the globe which itself is a market for Australian technology. The two links I provided above are eating their own dogfood to be sure but they are less in the business of growing food and more in the R&D business of designing, building, and onselling | leasing proven solutions. Both (to the best of my knowledge) are already embedded within large conventional farming areas | businesses - these are growth innovation sub business ventures.
