Even in a place like Canada where so much food is imported, transportation only adds up to about 12pc of the total energy cost.
I'm not aware of any vertical farm that is 10x as efficient as a regular farm.

I haven't seen anything more efficient energy or cost wise (outside of a couple types of plants, really just microgreens).
