We’ll run through a real-world scenario and then pose a new question to you each day this week.

(Thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">)

SCENARIO: You’re analyzing 2 potential farming setups in Mexico City.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1"> is a building with available indoor space of 250 m2 for a #verticalfarm, within walking distance of several top restaurants

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> is an empty lot on the outskirts of the city with 750 m2 for a #greenhouse ...

... both farms will grow Genovese Basil.

QUESTION 1:

Which farm do you think is more expensive to build (higher total “CapEx”)?
