There is more than one advantage to vertical farming -- off the top of my head:
Less pesticides
Less laborers needed (easier to automate the framed environment w/ "robotics")
Less at risk to in-climate weather
More water-efficient
.... think of vertical farming like an electric car: they aren't necessarily better for the environment -- but they better at everything else (safety, speed, manufacturing, maintenance, driver experience, etc.).
Don't buy a Tesla to save the planet -- buy a Tesla because it's the best car that money can buy.
Upvote for what plants crave
Unless you use nuclear energy!
nice
