Lettuce is great in a salad and lettuce plants are conducive to being grown this way, but what about other crops?

How about crops with better nutritional value?

I’d like to see beans, peas, wheat, rice, potatoes, corn, onions and cabbage grown this way before I would say it is an answer for humanity.

And no to veganism. If you can grow nutritious crops, feed them to chickens, pigs, cows and other tasty critters first.

Iceburg has little nutritional value. But Romaine is very high in Vitamin A/K and folate and to a lesser extent another dozen vitamins and minerals. That is all I buy unless a little Iceburg is needed for Burgers.
