Hydroponics and vertical farming never seem to grow anything with calories
The problem with hydroponics and vertical farming is, well, sunlight. How do you get sunlight to a plant that isn’t in direct view of the sun?
These things may be space efficient, buy they’re resource and energy intensive, as you cannot just use naturally occurring soil, and neither can you use naturally occurring sunlight. Fields are an effective, if space inefficient, way to grow crops.
GMOs are just a straight positive though, if they’re used correctly (and not like, patented).
Which will never happen. What company will invest billions if it can’t rake in the profits and completely control the markets later? It isn’t profitable enough.
GMOs are one of the most fantastic and most awesome of technologies which we must never let these evil comanies use.
Which is why I think GMO should be a public research effort, free for the world to use, ideally.
That would be nice, yeah
…hold on a second. Public research? ARE YOU A FILTHY COMMUNIST?
