I was positive... positive it will never be more than a supplement to the supply of fresh, in season, veggies.
I know more than a little about both farming and agricultural history.

Little things like how much land it takes to produce each type of veggie, grain, fruit, dairy, etc, for a city of say a million or three, precludes this plan from possibly being more than a supplement to the supply.

Add the economics, peoples buying/eating habits, questions of property/produce ownership, weather/location, and I am positive.
