    To be fair, if we did confine farming to sckyscrapers we could use the vast amounts of land traditional farming occupies for parks, nature restoration, and so on. And China has been doing most in terms of rewilding globally, so there is that.

      okay but the only thing you'd be able to grow is lettuce and herbs. It's nice saving the amount of space those take up I suppose, but it's not a farming revolution either

        That's not true, China is already growing a range of foods using indoor farms. The article mentions soybeans being grown in these farms, and and mushrooms are another example https://www.scmp.com/video/china/3158837/chinese-mushrooms-grown-smart-greenhouses-spur-multimillion-dollar-business
