If thus proves successful for American farmers, the left will try to stop it.
If food from indoor farms had any flavor they could “fine tune” it. All we can get here now are tomatoes from indoor farms, you might as well eat the packaging.
Ultimately I think this is the way to go for many crops. Obviously it will take the right formula of light, nutrients, conditions, etc. That will take a while to figure out for each crop to optimize taste and production. The ability to control all the inputs however should lead to much greater efficiency. This technology will obviously be necessary for colonizing the moon, mars, etc etc.
The lack of flavor is directly related to the lack of bio available complex phytochemicals in the soil. That comes from a wide range of biodiversity of life in the soil.
Impossible to produce in hydtoponics.
What is ignored is if your food is tasteless you get calories without nutrition, a recipie for obesity. Organic is the right track, with a farmer that is a soil nutritionist.
Costco now sells a tub of multi colored and shaped “cherry tomatoes”. I’m hocked on those things. The flavors are incredible.
I wonder if this is related.
Electric cars & trucks——
Now more power usage for ‘indoor farms’.
Meanwhile-—NO new power generation plants & an aging & vulnerable grid system.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
