That's in no small part due to the fact that our current species of crops were selected to be grown conventionally, where height doesn't matter but disease and weather resilience is very important; not optimized for the very different requirements of indoor farming. Once LEDs fall further in costs and dwarf species of staple crops come onto the market, then we will start seeing indoor farming of those too.

Still doubtful. High calorie staple crops simply require far more light to grow than greens do. That's just physics.
