Lots of indoor farms are shutting down as their businesses struggle. So why are more being built? (apnews.com)

Also what about other requirements, like water and fertilizer? Each tonne harvested has to be restored somehow.

Either we get agro-industrial traffic in residential areas, or the thing isn't next door to customers anyways.

Are residential area water pipes fit for the task?

I wouldn't be surprised if the sweet spot for such operations is at the outskirts, where we started.
