Megafarms are a type of agricultural installation.
Background[]
Megafarms came into being prior to the Omnic Crisis, at some point after GMOs were adopted globally. Many farms folded due to the onslaught of climate change, and sensing an opportunity, many corporate farmers threw in their lot with Omnica Corp and other robotics companies. It would requires massive up-front investment, but would ultimately eliminate the need for most human labor. The megafarms rapidly purchased the acreage and assets of their smaller counterparts, consolidating and growing to cover most of the planet's arable land. Crops and livestocks could be produced at record levels on these factory farms, bringing down the price of food with no immediate consequences.[1]
It would be years before anyone could look more deeply into the conditions on these factory farms, which had become ubiquitous with such speed that regulations had struggled to keep pace.[1] They continued to operate after the Omnic Crisis.[2]
