    Yes, it can come from renewables. There are many ways to build renewables in a way that doesn’t use additional surface area. Like you can have wild nature with wind turbines sprinkled throughout. Solar panels can built on top of most structures humans build anyway.

    Vertical farming has the potential to use less land, allowing more wild natural ecosystems.

    The controlled environment of vertical farming also allows you to work in a cleaner environment, meaning less need to employ pesticides.
