It’s a stretch but urban farms: malls will be turned into farms. The produce will be on racks so you might have 20 layers. Right now like half of all produce spoils. This way you can also deliver fresh produce the day it will be consumed. You can deliver the perfect combination of water and nutrients for plant growth. No pests, transportation, weather damage etc. it’s gonna be big. |

I think the next unicorn in food will be what I had proposed to HN previously; the idea of a Standard Pantry - a pantry of ingredients that is automatically tracked inventory and delivery of components and ingredients which allow a range of meal planning options.
Basically, what I want to create is two levels of pantries:
A basic standard pantry, which is subsidized (like SNAP) food stamps, which provides a menu of nutritious meals which can be made from the ingredients, with lessons on how to make the meals, and an automatic delivery of replenish supplies. The lessons are to teach young, lower-income people how to make the available meals provided by the system.
A higher end version, like the "Peloton for cooking" system, where you can subscribe to a meal plan and select from a library of recipes to make for the month, and the ingredients for each weeks meals are delivered and you check off what you made/ate and the system will deliver refills.
The ingredients are purchased in bulk, with minimal packaging and delivered in swappable containers.
The ingredients for fresh produce are farmed like you mention, and/or are sourced as local as possible.
This is where I was hoping the blue-apron/farm-fresh-to-you services were going, but they appear to be holding on to older models still...
