^ I believe very much in that kind of projects.
Only, it will require skills different from those of traditional farming from the related workforce.
Those facilities are likely to feature machines to grow the crops.
In a nutshell, robots will grow and collect organic crops with great efficiency, while people will be in charge of developing and maintaining AI slaves to serve them.
You know, they've been working on that kind of systems for some time already.
It's a whole new kind of economy coming up. It is exciting as far as organic farming goes, likely to bring affordable quality food to the people, while showing more respect for the environment as a whole.
That's how good new technology can be.
Now distributing it within a 100-mile radius sounds a bit outdated. It is too demanding as far as logistics goes and lacks efficiency.
Here in Paris, we have the supposedly
world's largest fresh food wholesale market (you may watch the documentary when you have time if you will, it is interesting) located in a southern inner suburb called Rungis. I'm not sure that type of logisitcs is still relevant today... It is very complicated and requiring from professionals, making them waste some of their time.
In fact, depending on population density, there should be such facilities every 20 or so miles, that would also manage wholesales.
Guess you could envision something like that on the long run.
