Techno fix for a solved problem. Just eat plants.
This is actually one "techno fix" that I think would truly helpful. Massive reduction in ecological damage (de-forestation for grazing areas) as well as a lot less pain and brutality.
Another hi tech, inaccessible, centralized (cause most don't have resources to do it) food production thing that is still so expensive it can't break profit, and due to sterile environment it needs, likely never will.
Even if it would, it still would be a luxury alternative most people can't afford. I guess better than killing animals ethically, but not the kind of vibe we need to cultivate in food production.
This article goes more in depth debunking it:

I was originally very interested on this topic as I went vegan like 9 years ago. More I have been following it, sillier it seems.
Apologies, I wasn't very clear.
Yes, as it stands today it's not even close to a viable solution. From what I've read a year or two ago, the price is astronomical.
I meant what I said in a more hypothetical way.
