In the future, it would be cool to see the steel frames facilitate rails that equipment could ride on and work the field beneath. Perhaps it could even be moved by water pressure, since similar equipment in the shape of large scale sprinklers already exists.
This might never come to pass, because indoor farming can produce the same amount of some crops and grains as the equivalent of 40x as much land.
Yeah I think indoor farming / vertical farming is going to be the ultimate answer. Much more efficient in every way, including resource use, water, pesticide, etc.
Not more efficient use of Gravel. Unless the person’s government requires water-barriers/floodwalls on fields for some reason. But yeah, indoor is great, I’ve personally been experimenting with bulbs in rock wool. They don’t seem as likely to bloom on the first cycle, but otherwise they’ve been thriving.
