Is it necessary though? With the advent of vertical farming, you can theoretically build a skyscraper solely for agricultural purpose if it makes economical sense. Land as a factor in agriculture is diminishing as technology improves rapidly.

What is the cost ? As far as i know,this vertical farming is high income with high cost!!!
Can you grow rice with this so called skyscraper farming??? I think it is more suitabl for vegetable and fruits farming? NO?!!
With the new developped rice seed,rice farming can be developped in certain salted lands!
Rice farming in salted paddy fields is not a new invention. At present, the most important research and development point in China is to increase the unit rice output of salt paddy fields!
At present, China’s most significant technological breakthrough is that the rice paddies can be directly irrigated with salty water containing 6‰ of salt, and the rice production can be increased to a large amount of 620.95 kilograms per mu, which exceeds the maximum yield of “sea rice” that is known in the world. ”
