As with anything, anything that's economically viable will be done. Absolutely no one will not produce food economically out of evilness. There's no shortness of good and healthy food, and any procedure used to preserve food will still apply to vertical farming. Don't worry about any of that. Do worry about anything that perverses incentives, and that's why we are here. Many of the things that could be done are prevented by perverted incentives due to governmental intervention.
Very true. The government is corrupt, it does need to change. The people need to take action.

To put it on perspective: my country, Argentina, produces food for 10 (TEN) times our current population. Not 10%, not twice, but 10. Yet there are cases in the north of kids that have died of malnutrition. Capitalism? The north averages 90% of employment in state positions. Taxes? 75 to 80% of what's produced. Excess of population? The north barely reaches a million in total. We are 45.000.000 million. We produce food for 450.000.000 million. What's the problem? Government, or vertical farming?

I mean something less evident. Here an example: I had a friend once saying to me that the state haves to intervene sometimes because otherwise capitalism can abuse people, and cited as an example an internet company that had monopolized the service in his village. I simply asked him "why is there not another service, isn't allowed?" - "no, because the local government only authorized his cousins company as the only legal providOHHHHHHH I see..."
