“Genetic editing for climate and disease resistance will protect growers in the developing world.”
“[G]ene editing is not the same as GM—it involves editing an organism’s own DNA rather than introducing DNA from another organism—so it doesn’t face the same issue[s]. Today, gene-edited products can be approved within a few months.” – says Gilad M. Gershon and Eyal Maori of Tropic
“Breakthroughs in fermentation will create a new class of food ingredients.”
“The real benefit of a fermentation process is that it just requires CO2, renewable electricity, water, and some mineral salts, so it provides a potentially limitless source of protein that can be created anywhere.” – says Peter Rowe of Aerbio
“Hyper-efficient, controlled-environment agriculture will boost food security.”
“Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems, like hydroponics, aeroponics, or aquaponics, can help in a number of ways. They can produce food year-round, regardless of external weather or climate conditions, and can be located anywhere. CEA systems use less pesticides—or none at all.” – says Tristan Fischer of Fischer Farms
