Yet anyway.
Plus the surface area of actual farms produce a lot more food than a couple of factory floors.
What I want to see is giant floating farms that run off wave/tidal, sun and wind, which powers desalination plants for water plus the capture of rainfall.
The plants would be protected from the salt by screens or just by being completely sealed inside.
So that they are protected against the elements, the floating plots would be designed to move with the waves with a giant keel to keep the up right.
The plot network would automatically harvest the crops by using a harvester on a rail that moves along the crops, and ships will fill up from it's auto dilvery system. During ship visits critical maintanence would be performed by engineers as well as part dilvery.
For less critical maintanence, VR could be used in conjunction with robotic arms, to repair or to perform more standard fixes.
