Part of that would also be what kind of diet are you supplying, too.

For example, you could grow enough for a base vegan diet on 300 square meters. (30x10). Bump that up to 700 if you want fruits and other vegetables besides taters. Rebump it to 1500 if you want meat. So actually you're feeding around 650 people with that square kilometer, and you could provide a sustenance diet for 3,000 people on that same amount. That of course presume every square centimeter of it is available for growing things.

I see the Freeport biodomes as the place that provide the local fresh vegetables, and the stuff that doesn't ship well. They're also trans-shipment places - aka giant warehouses - for the ships that DO come in with large quantities of food stuffs. If you have things boxed properly, an average semi trailer right now can hold 7 million cubic inches of cargo. (40' long, 102" high, 12' wide). 5 pounds of ground beef takes up about 225 cubic inches. So you're talking about being able to get 150,000 pounds of ground beef into a semi-trailer sized storage unit.

So the Freeports aren't just growing everything.

(And any discussion about ship scale in this game versus planets and such has probably already been had. We know things aren't to scale. GAME ... )
