I haven’t thought that far ahead. I just think hydroponic freight farms are neat because they take up less space and need less water and grow rather quickly and can be grown year round. They don’t need compost just water, plant food fluid, and electricity. Hopefully, solar panels will be more efficient soon, so I wouldn’t need to depend on a grid.

Is the plant food fluid something you can also make on your own? I don’t know what it is our where it comes from, but that seems like a potential hitch in the self-sustainability plan if it needs to be imported from a processing facility somewhere

Plant food fluid? You would need to acquire that via the grid. It's far more self sustaining to plant in soil, in a nature mimicking garden. If you set it up properly it can be self fertilizing, with animals and insects revitalizing the soil.

Also, post singularity u can expect mini fusion reactors.
