The facility run by Mirai uses towering rows of thin soil trays and exact measurements for temperature, humidity, light and darkness, to create 100 times more vegetables per square foot than traditional agriculture methods. The bacteria-free, pesticide-free environment cuts food waste by 30-40 percent compared to lettuce grown outdoors.

With such exacting standards crops are not the only thing being saved. Energy and, most importantly, water is being conserved, too. The growing method uses 40% less power and, through recycling in the closed system, 99% less water than outdoor fields. Other advantages include food safety and year-round availability, no matter the climate or weather.

Farming has been a terrible business. I don't know many billionaires (zero to be exact) that have made their money on farming. However with this technology i don't see many billionaires because there are no barriers to entry. What i see is traditional agriculture to have even more problems.

What we are seeing is tech killing traditional, but i don't see tech making a lot of money. I don't see anyone besides the monopolies & Brands making real money.
