I think we'll eventually see non-commercial ventures use a mixture of vertical/hydroponics and typical gardening. Pointless using up ground space growing lettuces if you can do it vertically in another part of your garden. But then there are other useful crops that don't suit that approach at all.
I could see this developed into an efficient garden with 3-4 shipping container sized portions running west-east with the most opaque at the rear to avoid blocking winter sun. Maybe something like: [1] enclosed and controlled space with vertical farming, grow lights, solar panels, heat pads, etc, [2] glasshouse with summer ventilation and hydroponic buckets and tubes/shelves, [3] open wicking beds with framework for climbing plants or shading, etc.
