• Workforce training. From agritech to plant
compounding, new jobs and skill sets must emerge
to support biologic farming at scale.

But none of these are deal-breakers. They are design
challenges—not scientific impossibilities.

Why Local Manufacturing Isn’t Just a Concept—
It’s a Mandate

Global biologic supply chains are fragile. They collapse
under pressure—pandemics, war, port delays, weather
events.

But plant-based, locally grown biologics offer something
fundamentally different:

• Shorter supply chains.
• Community stewardship.
• Climate-aligned resilience.
• Culturally sensitive care.

"Farms as pharmacies" isn’t just a clever slogan.
It’s a strategic redesign of the drug delivery system—
placing therapeutic power in the hands of people, not just
corporations.

The future of medicine may not come from a distant
factory.
It may come from a greenhouse behind your clinic.
Or a vertical farm in your neighborhood.
Or a seed library in your community.
