If I use Vertical Warehouse Farms exclusively to produce food, it will take ~5 VWFs to feed the population of one Arcology. If I rely on Food Processing Sweatshops I can conceivably feed 9 Arcologies off the production of one FPS.
In terms of workers the VWF would need less workers with higher pay (botanists) while the FPS will need more workers, due to the need for the FPS support buildings, but will probably cost less in wages.
In terms of space the VWFs would require less, again due to the need for the FPS support buildings.
Did I get all that right?

It's pretty close in terms of everything but you can always even out the wages so no matter the job it's not much of a difference in pay.
This gives me the motivation to dive into modding... my beautiful arcologies are now being swamped by yellow towers...

the FPS is, with the support buildings calculated, still better then the vwf.
Its me Lego.
