I was responding to John Salmen's point that growing crops indoors can

I'm sure there are ways to solve the problems, I'm just not sure there
are efficient ways to do so.

Why not use some of what they know and build upon it?  The only parts that may not be helpful are the parts that make it necessary to do it secretively....that is what leads to the destruction of houses, unfortunately.  Still--they have climate control (temperature and light) down to a state-of-the-art science and that is the hurdle in growing plants indoors.
