Vertical farming can make sense. Effectively you capture energy from places or sources unsuitable for farming, and focus it into a small area optimised for farming.
E.g. farming on the side of a building doesn't make sense. Covering the sides in solar panels however is fine. Wind can't grow crops directly. Wind powered grow lights can.
