Congrats on this important initiative. It appears this model is best suited for leafy greens production. California and Arizona are the biggest shippers, especially in colder months, and the shipping/handling to the eastern markets takes a toll on product quality. Scaling down from those massive operations (both in field and greenhouse production) would allow "locally grown" to be more feasible for leafy greens commodities. I wonder about the strategies for managing whatever pest and disease pressures there may be in these micro-greenhouse installations, especially providing support for novice growers. Also, how do these systems translate for other produce crops that would require more space?

Still expensive and out of reach for budget-conscious normies
