I think it's fascinating and looks like something an engineer / designer could have a lot of fun with. And on a larger scale, it seems like a really interesting idea that could bring food production closer to where people are – like cities. That said, I haven't had time to personally mess around with it much yet. I do think after watching how unpredictable the weather is getting, that greenhouses and indoor growing will be a very important part of the puzzle in the mid to later parts of this century. I worry about the grain crops and things that are still very much an outdoor proposition. Genetic modification and experiments with different perennials may get us to a place of resiliency, but we're not there yet. FWIW, I'm not anti-GMO. But I think an issue with GMOs is that a lot of what it gets used for is making crops tolerant of tons of chemical spraying.
