How about the woman in the USA who builds greenhouses on an
area equivalent to 16m by 16m ( the average australian backyard)
out of which she feeds HUNDREDS of people a green salad lunch each
day. ! This greenhouse uses ramps for vertical stacking, water,
and small animals and adjustable cover and shade etc to maintain
constant temp & humidity , and once fully stacked and functioning
the whole thing runs off sunlight, water and human guidance. The
particulars are buried somewhere in my stack of old e-mails but
the point is made. Who cares if there are "studies" . The fact is
we know we can make typical agriculture figures look like a joke
so just get on with it. What we want is more people doing it
on the ground and less "studies".

Have fun all.
