These 4 Tech Trends Are Driving Us Toward Food Abundance
“From a first-principles perspective, the task of feeding eight billion people boils down to converting energy from the sun into chemical energy in our bodies.
Traditionally, solar energy is converted by photosynthesis into carbohydrates in plants (i.e., biomass), which are either eaten by the vegans amongst us, or fed to animals, for those with a carnivorous preference.
Today, the process of feeding humanity is extremely inefficient.
If we could radically reinvent what we eat, and how we create that food, what might you imagine that “future of food” would look like?
In this post we’ll cover:
1. Vertical farms
2. CRISPR engineered foods
3. The alt-protein revolution
4. Farmer 3.0
Let’s dive in…”

This is the best way to do farming..now adays
Helping to accelerate the impact of CRISPR, the USDA recently announced that genetically engineered crops will not be regulated—providing an opening for entrepreneurs to capitalize on the opportunities for optimization CRISPR enables.
Yeah, what could go wrong? Just let them self-regulate, that’s worked so well for everything else—
