I've been reading about how vertical farming startups in Singapore and the Netherlands claim they can grow leafy greens using 95% less water than traditional soil farming. But when I look at the actual energy bills for those LED lights and climate control systems, I wonder if the trade-off is really worth it. Can we honestly say that indoor farming is the future of agriculture when it still depends so heavily on fossil fuels or underperforming renewable grids? Or are we just shifting the environmental cost from water to electricity, without solving the real problem of feeding a growing population sustainably?
