Meanwhile, companies are working on lab grown meat and vertical farms are going up around the country. At least one vertical farm is already using gene-edited plants and "the science' is working on creating more gene-edited plants that do well indoors under LED lighting. Naturally these gene-edited plants are patented.
If you buy leaf lettuce at a Kroger in one of several states, it probably comes from an indoor vertical farm and is grown in sterile media. Not sure what that will do to people's guy flora in the long run.
It's a techie takeover. Replacing fossil fuels with green alt-E. Replacing traditional farming with alt-food grown in high tech buildings. High tech vaccines.
Here's a gene-edited tomato plant designed for indoor growing by removing the gene for upright growth.
Gene-editing is not being regulated by the FDA.
