A Public Option for Food
I agree with this. However there&#x27;s a different way I&#x27;d look at it.<p>It takes 25 sq ft of vegetation to feed a person. Along with this, you can also raise tilapia. Aquaculture. But this is backbreaking work. Farming sucks, and hurts the body.<p>So, don&#x27;t farm. We can instead use Farmbot.io as a platform of what to build. So we have a basis of how to automate farming. It still requires killing fish when they mature, but im sure even that can be automated.<p>Now, back to 25 sqft. If there&#x27;s 30k people to feed, that&#x27;s 750k sq ft to feed everyone. Now, if we construct a building 3 stories tall, that&#x27;s 250k sq ft per floor.. square root of that = 500ft x 500ft floor size...<p>We need a building 550&#x27;x550&#x27; 3 stories tall to feed 30,000 people. And that would be climate controlled for the food you&#x27;re producing, and ideally free for any to eat.<p>I call it food security. It may be &quot;communist&quot; for some definition of communism. But I don&#x27;t care. This provides a right to live, by the very fact that you now have a guarantee of a share of food. No compulsion or anything.
