Yeah I think indoor farming / vertical farming is going to be the ultimate answer. Much more efficient in every way, including resource use, water, pesticide, etc.
Not more efficient use of Gravel. Unless the person's government requires water-barriers/floodwalls on fields for some reason. But yeah, indoor is great, I've personally been experimenting with bulbs in rock wool. They don't seem as likely to bloom on the first cycle, but otherwise they've been thriving.
