In the Netherlands, in Spain and many other places leafy greens are grown in greenhouses. So you only need to supplement with artificial light. Up north where I live in Sweden we also have greenhouses, but there are quite a few pilot projects with vertical farming indoors (not in greenhouses) including a side project of mine with aquaponics in an old barn.
