This sounds like good news but what I don't want is one big corporation replacing hundreds/thousands of worldwide farmers and having total control over the cost of selling this to consumers.
Good news, these farmers can start growing stuff to feed humans instead!
Regardless, we really shouldn't be preventing progress for the sake of protecting jobs. Especially when the status quo is so wantonly destructive. And even as this would replace some jobs, it would create new ones.
All that said, I'm very skeptical of this tech.
It needs to be done at small to moderate scale with properly strong regulations.
