As far as I know vertical farms are always about growing crops not raising animals. Switching away from eating animals would already free enormous amounts of land for wilderness, without requiring that we stack farms for some reason.
Ok. Yes that is technically true, if everyone stopped eating meat it would also free up lots of agri land in theory. They arent competing ideas.
Eating meat made from crickets, from a non animal meat factory, etc are also possible ways for us to reduce land usage. None of that is really about vertical farms though, and none of that would address plant agri except for feed.
“Stacking farms ‘for some reason’” is an interesting and disrespectful way to engage with my comment providing a reason to do exactly that. That doesn’t give me a good indication that you’re here to engage in good faith.
My point is that vertical agriculture implies a plant based diet. We could already switch to a plant based diet and save most of our agricultural land. Vertical farming basically means getting light from somewhere other than the sun, as the upper floors block the sunlight. So it doesn’t really make sense, and won’t likely save any land. I’m happy to be shown otherwise!
Vertical agriculture is conceptually useful if you consume any amount of plants, or things which eat plants. This is as it turns out, everyone, not just meat eaters
