One important version of this idea is using electricity to drive photosynthesis. If this manages to be even 10% efficient it could massively increase the amount of calories available without much increase in land usage (or ecosystem damage). Of course I suspect this wouldn't produce particularly good food, so it would probably be something of last resort.
