Musk farming
Posted: April 6th, 2018, 11:16 am
Kind of interesting video about Elon's brothers farming project.
The idea is that one produces food crops in a "shipping container", controlling light, nutrient, water etc. Each container can produce around the equivalent of 2 acres of open farm land:

There are many other examples of this kind of culture, a uk scheme uses disused tube tunnels to produce salad crops for London & various other examples around the world.
With The Musk name there is the potential that this could take off.
However, what nutrients are used, what mediums , maybe just water, are needed & how they are prepared is not clear to me. The biggest pain of under plastic growing, for example, is the endless battle to keep fungal growth under control. Most strawberries raised under plastic have received very many anti fungal treatments. Still kind of interesting as something to consider as potential future investment opportunities.
