You can use space efficient methods like vertical farming to slash that by quite a bit, also by growing the most calorie dense foods. Again, it's not an insurmountable issue and if we're talking a time scale of about 300-500 years into the future then it's certainly not unreasonable to presume that even better and more efficient methods to feed people will be developed. Vat grown meat?

>no insects
>no poison
>no drought
Is this a big meme?

What does sci think about vertical farming technologies like: Aeroponics, Aquaponics, Hydroponics?

In addition what do you think about the advancement of LED technology especially with application to growing plants. Such as unique rest/light timings for faster growth.

Will genetic engineering and synthetic biology be huge for optimizing for vertical farming? Do you think the future is instead in vitro meat and vat-created foods rather than "grown" through natural processes? Does Vertical Farming counter some fears of climate change making farming unpredictable?
