Could you build this?
No The product depends on plant genetic engineering, tissue culture, and robotics for controlled-environment biomanufacturing, which requires wet-lab biology and hardware expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version needs plant biologists and geneticists to redesign plant biology for sugar-fed, low-light vessel culture, plus tissue-culture and clonal propagation protocols. It also requires automation engineers to build robotic handling, vessel and rack systems, and facility design with environmental controls. Years of R&D, lab infrastructure, and regulatory work for food production would be needed.
