It's a prison, locking out all nature to produce food for humans.
If I remember well on this mailing list there was already a discussion
about this: the "romantic" vs. the techological approach to food
production.
Probably the "food production machines" are "plants' prisons" but
could produce big quantities of food in a more sane way than in the
traditional "romantic" crops' way production, because is possible to
deeply control all the production factors (nutrients, water, heat, and
soon)....and the machines can be put one up to the other: you can have
skyscraper agriculture for places with land scarcity!
IMHO the problem is to don't confuse need with choice: this
techological agriculture probably is what is needed to feed all the
humanity in a cheap and sane way. when we'll have food for all, then
we can think to play manual agriculture on free time, simply for joy.
