Agreed, which is why I don't see vertical farming taking off anytime soon.

Instead I see improvements in automation increasing productivity. Heck, if robotics could be sufficiently improved, it could all but eliminate the need for pesticides, for instance. I've enjoyed the musings on battery powered tractors too. Totally feasible if they go autonomous.
