I have gone over the first two and have some comments.
Let me first complement you, you’re very gifted intellectually. It isn’t easy to speak articulately on several topics you covered. We could possibly be a good fit in a team due to the fact we seem to be similar in ethos and complementary in skill set.
I had a very similar idea when I was in high school. Since then I have been slowly refining this idea. Your version has some fundamental design issues I will outline.
A) mega isn’t a great design choice when testing conceptually. Modular and scalable always is preferred.
B) Lack of life science integration. You may not realize this but your plan takes living organisms out of the equation. This is a flaw due to the fact that they are incredibly efficient. This isn’t with standard farming but with farming that is largely ignored due to technically savvy engineers generally lack life science understanding. I think this may have started with Star Trek I know many like you and for some reason women in science seem to gravitate to life sciences. In short the idea that byproducts can be a highly valuable input to a plant under the correct conditions. I have a post about this in general it isn’t reader friendly but it is a crash coarse in terms and ideas that must be understood.
C) Unless you use living organisms you will not be able to replicate nutrients adequately. This gap in life science education will result in an understanding of organic acids and phytonutrients. These acids are the next scientific revolution to fight many diseases. They are poorly understood man have little research supporting there effects on humans let alone someone attempting synthesis of them.
D) Transportation is key when involved in food distribution. This is especially acute due to the fact that many famines are also conflict zones. I think the proper way to handle this is desalination shipping containers and barges that self drive. They would nest in a matrix while under their development cycle. When the move to the fruiting cycle they would move to the proper location for distribution.
I think you are a bit premature on your idea, that is maybe why you will not see the support you may desire.
What do you think of thorium reactors?
Have you checked out this effort in fusion, what are your thought?
