In countries/areas where land prices are very expensive, this might help.

In the US I don't see this helping with common food stock (wheat/corn/cotton/soybean/tobacco/...). I could see this used for presentation foods (foods we judge more from looks) since you can control everything so much more you will likely get more products that can demand a premium price.

It would be very interesting to see what the price of water would be if it was subject to a market. A tragedy of the commons which isn't immediately visible until gone. Paradoxically some cities in the future will be bone dry ( Las Vegas) which others will be under water (Miami.) Freshwater available in neither.

Another good point is reduction or elimination of e coli & other pathogens caused by livestock runoff & workers shitting in the fields.

Outside of eating meat, B12 comes only from growing vegetables in proximity to mammal manure... it's not necessarily such a bad thing as you make out.
