People eat more than lettuce Where's the meat ? Idea is great hate to heckle a good thing
This is a great start.
One 40 ft container into 5 acres of productive farmland?
Any plant that does not take energy from the sun to grow is not natural biology…
if they can produce as much as 5 acres capacity in that 0.1 acre container,I eat that container LIVE.
What is the ROI. What is the Energy used? What is the carbon footprint? So far all I saw was lettuce. What about potatoes, carrots, beets, tomatoes, beans, broccoli, peas, et al? All those plants that need insects to pollinate?
GMO?
Bah ha h. "We take farming back to basics!" In a steel container with artificial lighting, irrigation and humidity control. You can't get more basic than a plant in dirt under the sun.
