Which is a negative outcome of the technology of vertical farming?

A negative outcome of vertical farming is the high energy consumption required for artificial lighting and climate control systems, which can lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions if not powered by renewable energy sources. Additionally, the reliance on technology can make vertical farms vulnerable to power outages or equipment failures, potentially jeopardizing crop yields. Furthermore, the initial capital investment for setting up vertical farms can be prohibitive, limiting access for smaller farmers or entrepreneurs.
