>Why not at sea grow plants?
Most plants that produce calories don't like salt water (e.g. https://academic.oup.com/jxb/article/57/5/1025/641280) which probably also includes salt spray - but maybe that's a problem that can be overcome in a reasonable way. The next challenges would be that marine tech is brutal. Between harsh weather, corrosion and bio-fouling, it seems to me one of the reasons to do off-shore operations is to buy more space where it is scarce.
Having an unattended farming operation however is necessary, but may be one of the fields where a project can shine. There's a fair amount of experience from off-shore power generation when it comes to installation and maintenance.
