It looks like a farm run by a James Bond villain.
I would guess.....nothing coming out of Compton will do any good....
Straight Outta Compton!....
Will the veggies be as pretty and flavorless as hydroponic tomatoes?
Cool! Something new to burn down when they have a peaceful protest!
Can’t run the AC on a hot night for old people that are confined to a bed/wheelchair but can run an industrial farm with AC 24/7 thanks to green energy taxes and state tax incentives for green businesses and businesses in minority neighborhoods.
How progressive
For profit or just for the government subsidies? If there is any.
Is this like the Ostrich farms of the 90's?
My maternal grandparents had a truck farm in Compton from about 1020 to 1942. They grew primarily tomatoes, other vegetables, and strawberries. My mother’s cousins continued to farm the area until the 1960s.
This has Vault-Tec all over it...
And we know what happened at their Agricultural Center.
In the future it will get burned down by BLM or some other power-hungry communist outfit and then we’ll all starve.
How long before they try it with weed ?
If the can do it in Compton, they should be able to do it for the Moon Base as well.
Seriously, as robotics advances, many kinds of production will be able to shift closer to the point of consumption.
We could all have a room like this in the basement, or greenhouse covering the roof. Lawns might give way to (robot) labor intensive gardens.
A few hundred square feet ((including the wall space) can produce a lot of food, if intensively managed.
Such robots are coming this decade. By the following decade, much will change, to adapt to that powerful technology.
Small scale hydroponic farming has been going on at EPCOT since around the 80s. It had a very small slow start, but successive trips to Florida revealed progress. For some time now, the stuff grown there has been served in several Disney restaurants. I’m happy to see it spread.
The Bush's apartment building was still standing in 2002, but it was in need of repair. It was gone the last time I drove past that intersection.
What’s wrong with this picture. California is already experiencing energy blackouts as its Green Energy plans provide insufficient energy to the population.
Now its planning to use some of that energy to provide artificial sunlight to grow crops indoors. So now we have artificial sunlight growing crops while it requires real sunlight to provide the energy to heat and light the crops (at a significant loss in efficiency in the production, and distribution, and use of the energy.
Weekly Garden Thread Ping!
Compton’s been growing junkies and layabouts for decades.
Are they talking about the same 'communities' that have figured out a way to put a liquor store on every corner?
The Israelis did something like this years ago, and the palis burnt it all down.
