Yeah, let’s see these dipsticks supply locally while implementing Agenda 21. These same idiots want people crammed into cities to reduce the need for housing and living space and at the same time want to produce everything locally. They are such morons. I bet he can’t even see the contradiction.
There’s no issue with creating massive in-city greenhouses to supply year-round vegetables and greens as long as these cities realize there is an energy and infrastructure cost. If they build the infrastructure, you can have in city farming, especially if you integrate wastewater processing with it.
But you can’t put planters on the roof of every building and magically feed everyone year round.
More utopian idiocy!
The schools need to do a better job of teaching math.
Americans consume on average around 5.5 pounds of food a day.
That is 2,007 pounds or one ton of food per year, per person.
New York city has a population of about 8,200,000.
That means that New York City would need 8.2 million tons or 16.5 BILLION pounds of food a year.
They aren't going to produce anywhere near that amount of food in window boxes, on rooftops, or in parks.
Imagine the amount of food required to provide 1 ton of food to each person in just America's cities.
