    I find the idea of using microorganisms to do farming kind of fascinating honestly. You can produce a lot of different chemicals this way, and potentially make kinds of food requiring very little space.

      Yeah, if these turn out to be feasible and healthy, we could potentially produce at least an order of magnitude more food with a fraction of the climate impact. Mycoproteins are already quite widely available as meat substitutes and are cultivated in vats. I don’t know what’s the consensus on health impact though, presumably it can’t be too bad
