You know, technology is an enabler. It creates efficiencies and things like that. But is it required in every single community across the globe? No. Is it required in larger populations that have demands and needs? Possibly.

So, you know, if you're talking about a country of 330 million people like the United States, and then you go to another country that has 6 million and they're doing fine, what is the role of technology then? When is it too much, right? When are you over-engineering the problem, I guess? and a certain perspective is what I would say.

And so that's something that there's a role for technology and it is a key role. I think there's just a time and a place and level of implementation that has to be carefully considered. It's one conversation unfortunately in the US and then it's a different conversation outside the US.

I think that there's, just to add to that really quickly, I think, so you're absolutely right when you say, do you want to introduce new risk? And that should be the first question. And then how much is enough? Like, is a community producing enough food? Is it fine? But I think there's another perspective in terms of technology that we have to really give careful consideration to in the long run.

And you've probably heard this as well, but I mean, nobody wants to be a farmer anymore, right? Generally speaking for the younger generation. So I know that's a broad sort of statement, but there's a labor and workforce requirement that's not getting filled, which is well documented across the board in most of the labor fields. You know, I live in Europe.

Try to find a carpenter that can get to your house within six months. You know, it's almost impossible. Or an electrician. So that's where it is. It's really there's a there's a labor force requirement that may necessitate the introduction of technology to continue with production. And so it doesn't sort of fall backwards.

I think that's a critical aspect that has to be considered in sort of strategy and planning domain. And so that is something that I think has to be addressed at the same time. And you mentioned it, you know, sort of teaching farmers to code or whatever. I had a similar discussion, I think it was over a year ago. I was talking to somebody who was a sort of a very well-known food security person.

And we were having a conversation essentially about the same thing. And the same topic came up, you know, what do you do with the labor market with farmers who need to move on with technology? Like, what do they do? And, you know, I just posed the question of like, why are we not integrating farmers from rural areas into cities and saying, help us develop a vertical garden program, right?

Or a vertical farming program. They know how to grow things. It's just they need help with the city environment, right?

So why not blend technology and the knowledge for people who are coming or coming from an agricultural industry and just say like change New York into a vertical farming area and then just like change the entire landscape and dynamic, like put your initiative into that and then just sort of, you know, change the entire profile of a city to where food is produced locally, transported locally, and then is used locally.
