I feel like the solution is probably more local banana
We all dream of thicc local bananas.
It’s a tropical fruit. It doesn’t grow well in temperate areas.
Couldn't we have like greenhouses at some level of scale? Maybe even like, integrate it more easily into normal housing or just larger public spaces? Banana trees get tall, but they don't get so tall that you couldn't probably fit them into a lot of places. Beyond that I think maybe the only problem would be, like, humidity, which there's probably some sort of workaround for, I dunno.
Banana trees take up a lot of space. And heating greenhouses would be very expensive.

Considering the size of the Canadian tomato industry (all greenhouse), it does seem like bananas should also solve. Just bananas can't pack as densely as tomatoes, but maybe throw one banana tree in every dozen rows of tomatoes or something. A girl can dream.
