That is a very interesting perspective, thank you for making me think of things in a slightly different light. But yes I agree any type of advancement in farming from this point in human history and onwards should be attempting to achieve 2 things:

• Dont poison the planet (we kind of need it)

• Make food preferably with some variety

We're all going to make it, as long as we keep pushing for the future we want

My guy built a laser beam for weeds, based af

I agree agrivoltaic farming is much more easy to implement for farmers, and although droughts and such will be more common I think the main appeal is what you said freeing up space for nature to reclaim.

I'm not really talking about eating them out of desperation but rather just as an additive in food, however I see where your coming from and it's a pretty reasonable response.

I see your point, but I do still think that vertical farming has its place in a solarpunk future maybe not in the sense of mass production but more personal like a veg garden or something similar.

Sidenote better than hydroponics is aquaponics providing more and better quality food.

Honestly I believe the more time goes by the more people start to hate the way our cities are rn

This is incredibly insightful as someone who want to get into the business, I agree that as always the governments are like 2 years behind new production methods and I wish that wasn't the case.

Isn't the entire point that it scales?

I agree it's all about where we apply the growing methods that makes a difference

Sorry but I don't quite understand, mind elaborating a bit more?

But I needz mah cheeseborger

I completely agree though reducing livestock to feed would honestly fix a lot of issues

THEY EXIST FOR MUSHROOMS???? Please do send a link of the one you buy I am extremely curious to see it

God I can only imagine that once that day comes a lot of us will rejoice

Although I was more talking in the hydroponics sense, this also reminded me you can do something similar with soil. Also good luck with that I hope you get lots of herbs

Honestly for me I think if we could grow grain vertically this would've been something we all jumped on

I really think marine aquaculture needs a breakthrough like aquaponics

Come on give them some credit in the Balkans were around 50 that's good enough if you ask me.

I'm hoping to see more successful large scale operations perhaps with some aspects of aquaculture/aquaponics integrated

It had a lot of promise, but it feels kinda empty at its current state
