> They all seem to be based on this assumption that traditional farming/food production is antiquated and inefficient, and that what the industry needs is clever outsiders to come in and re-invent it with the latest technologies. And they all just seem to go nowhere. You see the same in construction. All the real innovation is in more mundane stuff like flexible piping (as opposed to rigid), adhesives that dry quicker, insulation foam, laser levels, self-tapping screws. As opposed to prefab construction, construction robots, or VR glasses.
