I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the total energy utilization for the 2-acre vertical farm v. the 700-acre flat farm. It's not simply space that's the issue here. Maybe there would be a way to analyze energy input per unit of crop type and do a comparison. Not only that, I'd like to see a financial comparison. One thing people aren't as likely to consider is the barrier to entry that this will establish, which is why I was interested to know some facts like the costs to operate a farm like Plenty's. Intuitively, we might think that the responsibility for the entire food supply will be concentrated, not across groups of local farmers with accountability to their community, but to a couple of mega corporations. The space saving is fantastic. The idea of more efficiently utilizing space is awesome. As this technological gap continues to increase, however, I'm interested in the tradeoffs we'll experience at the level of the whole species as these functions become increasingly consolidated to just a few corporate and state powers. Wait until they tell you that growing your own food crops is illegal because it, I don't know, represents a biological threat that could contaminate all of FutureFoodCorpX's patented high-yield VERTICULT variety.
