Although the options have not been provided, the best option for the farm is a drilling rig for water.

Due to the distance from the ocean, desalination can not be carried out and neither is a hydroelectric power plant a good option since it requires large quantities of water being passed over turbines. Finally, vertical farming is a feasible option where there is limited land for the cultivation of crops, so they are grown in layers, one on top of the other.
