I can see indoor farming as the future of farming. You only have so much land, but you can have multiple acres per acre by going upwards.
They could get knowledge and training from marijuana growers - they've been doing indoor farming for decades.
Almost any abandoned warehouse, factory or mall is ideal.
no real sunlight? I wonder if it will have same levels of nutrients as naturally/outdoor produced items? I always thought hot house was not best?
Weed vote in Nov already secured, unfortunaely.
Where Squish post man kid?
[ no real sunlight? I wonder if it will have same levels of nutrients as naturally/outdoor produced items? I always thought hot house was not best? ]
they can use tuned LED lighting to only output the wavelengths the plants need, well why not natural light you ask?
Well you can use a solar cells on the top of the farm to power the batteries and lights and take all that multi-wave light for energy and power multiple layers and levels of plants.
And you can keep the plants growing 24/7. Plants adapt easily to that, just ask anyone in Alaska who has a garden.

By controlling what goes into and out of the indoor farm you don;t need pesticide or herbicides...
Ask yourself you ever use roundup or bug spray on an INDOOR PLANT?

and since you have a very controlled environment, automation of tasks is far easier....
and so goes away the dumb ass democrat talking point that we need “illegals to raise our food” crap.
ANNNNNDDD..... ILLEGALS WON’T BE CRAPPING ON OUR FOOD EITHER!
Mrs. Mad would, if there were spiders involved she would “Raid” the hell out of it.
In addition to our summer and winter estates, he owned a valuable piece of land.
True, it was a small piece. But he carried it with him wherever he went.
"Dmitri Petrovich! I would like to buy your land."
"This land is not for sale.
"Some day, I hope to build on it."
There could be situations requiring pest-control sprays, if the farm were large enough.
Yep.
There isn’t reason they can’t have reflected sunlight, using mirrors.
kale.
mmmmm...
And good practice for the sub-surface space colonies.
That’s an application I hadn’t thought of, and you’re right.
Surprised to see Dorothy Lane Market jump on it.
About the only reason I could see them jumping on it is for “perfect food”.
80 acres in snow country. That’s one heck of a snow load.
Interestingly, because the growing environment is so controlled, crops grow more quickly. Some micro vegetables can be harvested monthly.
