    What’s inefficient about vertical farming?

    Cost. It’s a lot more expensive to build vertical. Additionally you need lighting that would wouldn’t need otherwise.

      The capacity more than makes up for it. You could also grow in cold climates where you can’t normally as well.

      The benefits are there.

        No, it’s just like solar. You need existing infrastructure to make it worthwhile, e.g. the top, sides, or inside of an apartment building . Otherwise there would be vertical farms everywhere. America is entrepreneur/Venture capital heavy. If it penciled out properly, people would be doing it.
