Let's stop with the doomscrolling. We're living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year.
People live longer than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history.
This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars.
The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

I understand the viability of low to the ground farm produce (carrots, lettuce, potatoes), and to an extent hanging vegetables, but what about tall stemmed produce (wheat, corn, etc?) How viable is that in the vertical arrangement? Is it arranged like a steppe-payramid?
good questions!
I don't think that's being done at a commercial scale yet and i don't see it happen any time soon.
