The amount of land used for animal food is that great that you can't ever put it all indoors. Literally half the land of the planet is used for that and the animals itself.

Wouldn't it stand to reason that a building that takes up 1/4 of the space and grows crops four layers high would still produce the same amount?
Not to mention, I've seen concept art of repurposed missile silos being converted into hydroponic farms.
