That makes sense. I guess what I’m hoping for is a breakdown of the exact costs and footprints involves, at least in estimation. Like, less shipping is great, but a solar farm plus a factory-greenhouse is not a small investment, and the solar farm can’t be made vertical, which will cut down on the area savings at least somewhat.
I get why everyone goes for leafy greens, since I’ve experienced sad Canadian winter lettuce. I’ve also heard it’s a bad choice, somehow, and a lot of startups have failed as a result.
Well you can repurpose a lot of what used to be large farmlands and install large solar farms there, potentially grow some plants in the solar panels shadows as well.
Win-win situation.
