>>18 Farming is better for our economy, no need to cut out the farmer. Farmers sell raw product to firm, consumers buy final product from firm, jobs are in place, money is circulated between people, or something like that, I need to go back and learn economics. I barely passed that class, but you get the point. I think hydroponics are best for people who don't have as easy access to food as we do. This could save lives and not compromise our current system at the same time. But I'm unsophisticated, if someone had an educated response to this that'd be great.
