Hydroponic food forests

If you're reading this, I appreciate you taking the time.I've had this idea for a long time and it keeps making more and more sense to me. I want to turn abandoned malls and strip malls into hydroponic food forests. I truly believe you could service a restaurant and grocery store on site with the infrastructure we are currently using for retail.Right now so many doing hydroponics are only doing leafy greens with hydroponics, but how many salads can people really eat. I believe you can take advantage of existing electrical, plumbing, and hvac systems to grow a multitude of different crops. Giant parking lots can have solar panels, rain water capture or green houses. If you get crazy you could use fish, chickens, goats, rabbits or crickets for protein.In a mall different store fronts could be set up with different climates to grow different things.40% of food end up in the garbage. Because we have to ship it around the world when we used to have farms near towns. Food is now grown to be shipped, and is typically nutrient deficient garbage.Due to the cost of shipping and spoilage, I know that this food can be grown locally, supporting great jobs, with higher nutrient content than is currently available at affordable prices.I even think you can stack community benefit programs at these facilities. Like on site day care centers, volunteer programs and pet rescues, playgrounds with kinetic energy toys to educate the kids about renewable resources. It could really be a positive community space.I believe there is a community that has an abandoned strip mall just sitting there waiting to be used, and would happily provide tax incentives for this program.Hydroponics, aquaponics, permaculture, vermaculture... The best of all these techniques can come together to become a profitable and beneficial company.My initial thought would be to start with a single small warehouse and grow tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, basil, cilantro and either make my own sauce I could sell, or just sell it to restaurants as a proof of concept. This is infinitely scalable, and I know for a fact can be done right.What I currently lack is someone with a lawyerly mind. I need someone that understand zoning, and processing, and a document minded person. Funding is another... Hurdle. But I do believe if I could come up with an actionable plan I could figure out some funding for it.If anyone has any ideas or interest please feel free to reach out. If not I'll just keep dreaming and scheming and trying to figure things out along the way till I get it right.Cheers see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
