That's just not true. Vertical farming isn't about building a whole new facility with fancy LED lights. It's about effectively utilizing space to get the most calories/input. There's no reason a traditional greenhouse can't grow crops vertically in their existing infrastructure.
Additionally, it seems like you are writing off the idea because "Commodity crops and animal agriculture are the biggest resource users in this system and vertical farming is no where close to finding a substitute for those"
Vertical farming isn't going to just poof magically fix everything. It's meant as a supplement to an unhealthy food system.
And I think the cost of production will come down.
