It sounds especially inefficient when you consider the bad example brought up in the article--apples. There is a reason apples are mass-produced--lots of land and the right climate conditions. You can&#x27;t grow too many apples in urban areas. I love real apples, but I grew up in an exurban area across the street from an apple orchard.<p>You won&#x27;t taste apples that good through mass production, but you will be able to get apples year around. Those are the trade offs.
