Other than the FF greenhouse, are you aware of others. Wasn't there
one in Missouri? Did that go under or is it still viable? Are you
aware of any tangible, on the ground (not on paper)  operating
greenhouses in 3rd world countries?

What is the business model for greenhouses in 3rd world countries? In
the us the idea was to have them close to urbane centers where yuppie
urbanites would supposedly pay $5-10 / lb for organic vegetables. 

In contrast, in 3rd world countries, there is much less demand for
such (and the deep demand for such in the US has not been demonstrated
to my knowledge). And often in third world countries you already have
many families with their own "organic" gardens -- they cant afford
fertillizer and pesticides (don't ask whats in the bucket they are
putting around the plants))  as well as small "organic" truck farms.
So I would see little demand for high priced organics in 3rd world
countires. Is the plan to jet the fresh and perishable produce into
developed country's urban centers?
