    it's simply cheaper to buy a fuck ton of land and throw thousands of gallons of water at it. also, setups like pictures don't scale well because standard agricultural equipment like threshers, combines, etc. can't be used.

      People objected to the pig mega farm because they will suffer a massive disease some day and lose that use of the building because it's impossible to clean it well enough to prevent reinfection.
      US pork producers would love if they could have it but it's simply too risky when you aren't backed by the government and can accept a total loss of production for years because of a single fuckup or evolution happening.

      The Chinese released Covid on the world from the highest rating of biological containment labs what makes you think they will be able to keep the pigs isolated?

                The US federal government funded gain of function research in corona virus by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases giving grant money to EcoHealth Alliance to fund the work done in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
                The NIH had to use the EcoHealth Alliance as a cutout because that type of research is illegal to fund with federal money, but if you give the money to someone else that tells you they are going to do gain of function research with that money that's magically no illegal..

    You could also enforce strict hygienic controls in a farming megastructure that is simply impossible out in an open field. You could prevent literally all insects from getting in. There would be no parasites in your produce.

    Because its gay and the sun and microbial rich soil is superior in every way at producing healthier, tastier, more nutrient-dense plants. Likewise society is already moving towards its sustainability agenda and using artificial lighting as an energy source for plants instead of a free carbon less source called the sun would be retarded.

          Sunlight -> water heating (75%) + electricity (25%) -> UV lights (5% × 3) + system operation (10%) -> climate controlled, higher output system with better thermal efficiency and stability.

          It's funny because spectrum select LED lighting gives about 4 times more energy to plants than plants could absorb from the same area of land exposed to direct sunlight if it was covered in 20% efficient solar panels.
          Plants are shit at using sunlight, with on average less than 1% conversion of energy.

    It uses too much electricity to be economically viable. Maybe if you built nuclear reactors then we could have enough "clean" energy to power it, but we're not allowed to use nuclear power on a large scale because some slavs blew up a power plant 40 years.

    Because it is FAR more expensive to do hydroponics than it is to farm.

    1. Sun is free, grow lights are like $20 a pop and aren't infinite like the sun. Sun even gives you a free day-night cycle.
    2. Holy fuck are plants thirsty bastards. Water from city = $$, water from sky = free. Oh no, your hydroponics tower eats water like AG does, now the city is in drought because of your shit. Whoops, didn't think that through.
    3. Oh, you want to grow without nutrient rich dirt do you? Well enjoy purchasing industrial chemical s to add to the water for the plants to grow, and oh shit now you have to be a fucking chemist to properly prepare all this nutrient water.
    4. Your little hydroponics thing needs to be harvested by HAND. Aka human labor that is pissy, unreliable, and has demands for money, healthcare, and shit. Versus AG where they have big ass machines to do all this shit for them.

      >infinite like the sun

      >water from sky = free
      If it rains every single day to provide the water you would water your field with every single day.
      >nutrient rich dirt
      Dirt hasn't been nutrient rich for decades. Compare nutrient levels today to 100 years ago. We have depleted the nutrients from our soil and it's ALL artificially added now anyway.
      >by HAND
      implying we won't be able to create robots to do that. and shitloads of existing AG has to be harvested by hand as is. Ever heard of vanilla beans?

    Dirt farming is still cheaper even with the crops lost to weather, insects, disease. Now if someone had taken advantage of the 0% interest rates and build some huge grow structures in or near to a large urban center in time they would due to their massively higher output out compete legacy farmers. But no one did so here we are.
