The Indoor Farms Disrupting The Produce Industry

Over the past decade, indoor vertical farms popping up in cities throughout the country have begun to decentralize the produce market. But can they scale enough to provide consumers with local vegetables and even fruits year-round?

That is how we have grown most of our veggies and fruit for the last 50 years in the NL.
And yes, they grow enough veggies, flowers and fruit to be the number two agricultural exporting country in the world right after the USA.
Bell peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers aubergines, peppers, beans, courgettes it is all there all year round.

They use earth heat now a days to heat the greenhouses. So it will become climate neutral most likely within this decade.

Even cannabis is grown (so far for medical purpose only) in some glass houses.

I've been looking at getting a household indoor garden. So far, the options are all pretty expensive. I'm guessing there's a point at which you break even and start saving money from not purchasing at the supermarket, but it seems kind of far in the future so far:
