Currently, i see no alternative that doesn't devastate ecosystems. I see a future in vertical farming, as knowledge and consciousness of that problem grows.

In the eventual future, sure. But that may be a century away. There are many other solutions that should be implemented before vertical farming that would actually protect ecosystems. The main thing would be pesticides. That’s what I’m far more concerned about than this mere concept.
