This "linear TV is dead" mantra is just not true, and not supported by data. Linear TV is still extraordinarily popular in the UK across all age demographics.
The most viewed shows last year got over 10m viewers. Young people watch Love Island live at huge numbers.
You're not going to get an 80 year old binge watching Countryfile on Netflix. Not everyone wants to switch to that viewing model.
There was a halfway decent (if simplified) segment on Countryfile [0] about the use of PhytoLux LEDs in the UK.
They've been working with Bristol Uni to investigate the effect of various colours and wavelengths on plant growth (Something Gigaom, linked, is only just experimenting with); they claim energy efficiency [1] as just one advantage when using vertical farming methods.
