No, this is more control for big tech and all their bullshit to control us. the world has more water then land so educate people to harness the power.

Found the conspiracy theorist. How about fresh water and arable land close to one another?

Yeah but not for us common folk. What we need to stop are the million/billionaires using millions of gallons of water a month to fill their multiple swimming pools and large companies using as much water as they please. Consumers aren't the problem in droughts.

The easiest thing would be to outlaw waterparks and golf courses, but that would make rich people mad, and millions dying of thirst and starvation isn't worth giving up the back nine.

This is still monoculture that destroys soils by killing all biodiversity in them with agrochemicals, and largely practiced in deserts. It’s like solving the gas issue with electric cars rather than effective mass transit. It’s the smallest change to our current way of life, but it does not change anything in terms of the actual challenge of climate change.

People who own farms think if they don’t use it, they lose it when it comes to water. They won’t follow this until it becomes a law. Agro does what agro wants.

Vertical growing seems more reasonable than needing to make even more electronics.

Yes because grass “farmers” can afford 2million dollar systems that rely on an in the area tech to work on them every 3 days when the power shorts from high winds and the backup generators don’t come on in time to save the data… I’ve been doing this since I was child waking up to our automated phone call warning us the power blipped and my dad would have to drive to the farm to make sure the backup generators and pumps are all functioning and our fish aren’t all dead.

It’s been here since the 90s dawg. Fish cultures way ahead of dry land farming like this is intended for.

If you grew up in it you see the gimmicks re-emerge all the time.

That being said systems like this require a big buy in and a hell of a lot of faith in the local repair tech.

Farm machinery has a real problem with allowing farmers to repair their purchases (right to repair) such as John Deere, let alone afford a maintenance contract through good and bad seasons.

Yea. I’ve been living in that reality for years. Youll need a subscription soon for your tractor to even work on the weekends.

There’s a ton of work going on in precision agriculture to solve fertilization and watering issues. It’s coming and rapidly.
