Your guide to the automated farming technologies, lab-grown meat, glowing bacteria, and sewage-to-electricity converters that will help vertical farming take off
Decades ago, I was excited about the idea of this type of farming. However, as the years passed, and I found that the only way to get a tomato with a good flavor was to put a plant outside in a pile of dirt, I gave up on the idea.
At the supermarket, 12 months of the year I can buy perfect looking tomatoes that have absolutely no flavor. If they can't grow a good tomato, I sure don't want to try their meat products.
