I saw some piece on a vertical hothouse in Malaysia, iirc.

It's produce was priced about 20% higher compared to traditional farming.

I found it interesting that they were using the weight of the watering to help move the vertical conveyor of planter boxes down the sun-facing side.

The excess water from the planters was channeled to a collection container for reuse.

If nothing else, we are going to be using this technology in space, and so the knowledge generated by these companies will be useful.
