Although the following article discusses small scale farming, it does go on to mention farming on large scales, so while it may look small at first, it's not beyond our ability to scale it up.
However, it's not the infrastructure that makes this new concept seem like something out of DC (or any other near future/cyberpunk/sci-fi game) to me, it's the computer intergration - literally "drag & drop" control over planting, watering and so on. And the fact that it's borrowing concepts from 3D printing and using an open source farming database.

Nice find!
If that ain't the herald of corporate farms of the DC future, then nothing is

I'm actually liking the "low impact" farming robots over the heavy equipment in the DC rulebook. Sure, a rogue bot could be a handy encounter, but a rogue swarm, packing lasers and toxic microdots... now that has some serious potential.

I'd suggest the DC model of farming as presented in the rulebook is akin to that described in the first paragraph of the article. We've had a fair amount of this in the eastern part of the UK. I think it's fair to say it hasn't been good for wildlife or the environment generally e.g. the wholesale grubbing up of hedgerows to create massive prairie type fields has destroyed animal habitats and travel corridors.

These new methods do seem a lot more environmentally friendly. On paper at least.

Pretty much the same situation in the US, honestly.

I'm sure, only bigger I expect!
