“The whole project cost less than 268,000 U.S. dollars”

Everything is smaller in the UK. Their typical size refrigerator is what we would call a “bar fridge”. A regular size fridge is called an "American fridge".

This makes about four agricultural revolutions in the works.
1. automated farming.
2. vertical farming (city farming) big cities all over the world
a. greenhouse farming at humongous scale (netherlands spain)
3. aquaculture at scale
4. cheap desalination leading desert farming. (happening in israel)
