The combo is high yield, fast growth, good price and dense areas (as in, you can serve your market on a bike). I did not yet run the numbers, but I think it can be profitable. Take rucola, which grows very fast, if you can make 0.5kg per square meter every 2 weeks, then it's eur ~1.25 (1kg = ~5 euros) per square meter per week. With 10,000 m2, it's eur 12.5k per week. 10,000 m2 is a 100x100m square - not much, you can probably rent that much worth of loan in residential areas and pay in vegetables (1 box per week, etc.).
I think this is pretty doable. Go to market is pretty much done. Good story for being local, etc. Probably even tastier product if you know how to play with a greenhouse.
