Marijuana farming indoors/vertical will probably be the crop that pushes innovation in this area and most is grown indoors at minimum.
Over time, controlled conditions will be a necessity. Right now the cost is still cheaper for most on land, that will change, especially if we move to new planets but definitely if we don't due to population.
Necessity will fuel the innovation here and solar/light innovation will be a big future industry.
Writing off vertical/indoor farming is like writing off other fuel choices or EVs, until it happens everyone said it was impossible but necessity changes the impossible mainly due to changes in cost/investment and returns, as well as new technologies made possible over time.
Lots of examples of successes already besides in marijuana. Essentially just green houses that can be stacked like modular farming.
