Dyson Might Just Have Solved Vertical Farming [video]

It is intriguing to see the rotating rigs that move strawberry plants. A more quantitative comparison to static vertical farm systems in terms of yield, energy efficiency, and plant health would answer a lot of questions. There was only limited discussion of how robotic pollination, pest control, and harvesting might eventually surpass human labor in both cost and quality - I'm guessing Dyson's intentions here are proprietary given their scale of investment. I do wonder how scalable Dyson’s automation approach might be for a wider variety of crops, or are strawberries in some way uniquely suited (not just because of the crop price point)?

I wonder if it will also be manufactured in Singapore like their awful vacuum cleaners? (1)
