i agree, but if you are hopeless at gardening, too poor to buy food but rich enough to buy a 3000 dollar machine, this is for you!

I think a lot of people are loosing the point of "open source" here...Contrary to almost every automatized (mainly professional) tools you can find on the market, you can have here freely the plans and programming freely and built one yourself (and improve it). That's the whole point of open source machines! You don't depend on big company to build/repair/improve your tools! Yes there is the question of utility because it's just starting, but in the end it will certainly become interesting for some people. Maybe not individuals indeed ;)
I don't think this is terribly practical in all but the most arid climates here on earth. However, this is likely to be the future of growing food in space!
