From a land-use perspective, growing this way can be very efficient. With most industrially grown crops you are essentially limited to one "layer" of crops; but here you could stack crops in a warehouse (though similar arguments apply to vertical farms using artificial light).

Other than this could potentially reduce the energy requirement by 75% or more.
