I believe greenhouses and vertical farming are orthogonal. IOW, you can have a vertical farm inside a greenhouse, or a "horizontal" farm inside warehouse with grow lights.

What a good example of a literal use of the term orthogonal

I also think that the point about natural lighting with supplemental artificial lighting shows that these things are gradients.

E.g. Is a grape vine a vertical farm?
