What would it take to have a sustainable world by the year 2100? In their research, philosopher Karim Jebari, and Emma Engström, PhD in technology, have analyzed a large set of potentially disruptive technologies in the food sector, and identified three that are particularly promising. First: There is room to improve the efficiency of the photosynthesis process in plants using what is known as C4 photosynthesis. Second: Vertical farming have the potential to increase yields of certain crops and produce dramatically. Third: Alternatives to animal food. For example hydrogen based protein using bacteria to produce meat-substitutes. In this talk they explain how far these can take us towards a future of sustainable agriculture.
