2. Makes many mistakes quickly
3. Has no goals

The global water crisis is really an agriculture story.

About 70% of freshwater withdrawals go to farming.

Any technology that changes that equation matters.

#Water #FoodSystems

Food production is slowly becoming infrastructure.

Like energy.
Like water systems.

Reliable, controlled, scalable.

#FoodSystems #Infrastructure

The future constraint in agriculture isn’t land.
It’s usable water.

That’s why production systems that recycle nearly every drop are becoming infrastructure.
