Obviously not useful to grow land plants in these sorts of domes for useful crop yields in general. Ignoring the complexity and cost, at 22 feet you've lost most of the red spectrum and are starting to lose orange and yellow. That's a big penalty on the available energy. Maaaaybe for some weird pharma thing?
However it's probably(?) a pretty interesting and cheap experiment area.

Moreover, with the way industrial farming is currently done, most plants are genetically similar to each other. This means that if a bacterial outbreak were to occur, it could potentially wipe out many crops. In an enclosed environment, you eliminate these things. Although, you could still do it in a green house.
