Thank god it’s about time we start pushing this I’m tired of relying on the nut job states for food production. Bring on the self sufficiency!

That's still not going to change though. You need lots of cheap land for mass production

Convert those office buildings in midtown. NYC will be the state's leading producer of kale, inshallah.

Self sufficiency is not really achievable in an urban setting. Hydroponics can definitely increase the yield per square foot but it uses a lot of electricity if done indoors. Also things like cereal grains that require a ton of space can’t really be grown in a hydroponic system.

Hydroponics is good for growing herbs and with grow lights can grow microtomatoes and leafy greens but there’s a lot of limitations to it
