A lot of the vegetables in the supermarket come from canada or mexico depending on where you live. it makes much more sense to have greenhouses and vertical farms around major cities so produce is locally produced.

Or produced in California using water they are swiping from the western part of the United States. I like this idea in that it allows the midwest to compete year round for vegetable production. I don’t think it takes away from the normal crop seasons for grains, etc, but it does help make the rest of us more independent of foreign or california growers
