Vertical Farming Has Found Its Fatal Flaw

I wonder how economics of vertical fawns would change if we priced land being used for anything but being a wildlife reserve as a negative externality.

Well, if enough people starve to death it'll drive down demand.

Not much since peoples housing would also be more expensive, as would energy generation.

What we need is an energy efficient way of producing food with minimal cost and which doesn't turn arable land into a vast monoculture. Alas, we need food more, and experimenting with food supply can be... disruptive...

Almost all the land under cultivation is in places "we" have no such say about.
