This is why I feel like farm to plate automation is the core technology that makes the future real. My concern is that people will reject it out of the lack of variety at the start.
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you referring to a specific technology (like Soylent) or just automating the process of growing, harvesting, and distributing food?
To those ends, the logistics of food production are massively intensive and account for most of the food waste worldwide, so shrinking the logistics chain alone would significantly reduce costs and improve quality. I am thinking in this regard about the containerized growing systems that are starting to enter the market.
