Wretched squalor
1. They simply took the pots and lifted them up. Why, why? There is no benefit to this except that you need a greenhouse 3 times taller and that the assemblers don't have to bend over.
2. Separate drip irrigation tubes... Again - why, why? Run a tube with nozzles in the middle across the entire row, and you won't have to stick anything into the ground.
3. The industrial method of growing involves picking the product UNRIPE so that it can be stored longer. The fruits do not have time to accumulate the required amount of nutrients, so they are extremely far from the sweetness of ripe berries; the taste will be watery and empty.
4. The rails on the floor directly tell us that automation of the picking was meant, instead... Each berry is picked by hand. It's only profitable if the workers get paid pennies. By purchasing such products, you are sponsoring corporate slavery and delaying progress.
I don’t see anything “modern” or “smart” in this production. This is not only a suboptimal process, it’s “and don’t care about the cost, with the markup we can make, and the savings on slave labor, we’ll still make a lot of money.”
