Without a doubt, yeast based production will be the future, but that's still many years out. Cannabis has so many different compounds that have unique benefits, that more studies need to be done before the yeast approach makes sense (since you grow only one compound at a time).

It's still "natural" in the sense that the compounds are identical to those that are extracted, the advantages of growing them in a vat is the purity and scale (and lower cost). But it's not super easy to do at scale. EVOLVA, a Swiss company, is doing this with increasing success for Stevia, nootkatone, and reservatrol. Once the cannabinoids market starts to mature I have no doubt this approach will take market share, but IMO that's 6+ years out. Until then VFF will do stunningly.
