In spain they managed to grow half the vegables of all of EU on a landsize equalent to half of new york using the power of the sun inside huge "tents" with roof of clear plastic. This is so impressive, and gives hope for the future!

What is the ecological impact of each?

They probably mean that it's monoculture (or close to) that destroys (basically) all other life in the utilised land. I suspect they aren't referring to the amount of people fed per square meter or the released outputs (/pollution) per person fed.

I can see that, amount of land that it utilizes still makes a huge difference there though
