$66M for an ag/food-tech park is headline news. But what I watch most: who builds the skills, who defines the metrics, and who sustains the ecosystem once the ribbon is cut. That’s where CEA and resilience meet reality.

Everyone celebrates ‘models for indoor ag,’ but the real question is: what mechanisms actually move the field forward? Long-term R&D, water-efficient design, and transparent performance data—not regional hype—determine what scales.

Ag tech isn’t bottlenecked by innovation—it’s bottlenecked by adoption. California’s new $15M, 9-hub network is a reminder that tools aren’t enough. Farmers need proof, training, and trust. If we’re not solving for deployment, we’re not solving the problem.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.
