I have been following the development of vertical farms and hydroponics for a little while, since the popular "food computer" TED Talk a few years ago [1]. I have seen some adoption, with some companies supplying limited produce to market [2].Progress seems to slow to me. Why isn't this more prevalent? Why aren't hydroponics in general more prolific? Why is this not feeding developing countries?
