Without going all Matrix esq, this is fascinating.
1) The potential to grow food anywhere. ( Spaceships, submarines, cave systems )
2) From a green perspective, it would reduce many a carbon foot print in terms of travelling.
Still to conquer would be the electricity bill.
A country like Iceland tho, could become a major food provider with its almost free electricity.

Yet every few years someone comes along only to prove the economics don't work. Last I read someone was trying to get funding for a skyscraper hydroponic greenhouse in NYC which would be clear folly.
