This story really has nothing to do with climate change, but their research and this article will get much wider circulation if they keep saying “climate change”.
If this stuff will feed Africa, great.
Article makes me feel Africa is a very primitive place, with way too many people to feed.

Africa was much better off before the Marxists took control of Rhodesia and turned it into Zimbabwe.
That’s something else “Jimmuh” Carter supported and facilitated.
You have never been to Africa I see.

Africa has nearly 2 billion humans more than the EU and North America combined. Every one of them wants and is starting to demand meat, and access to middle class levels of energy consumption. They can see how the West lives and demand the same things now. There will be a huge reckoning when those 2 billion and the 3 billion more in China and India combined also demand middle class European let alone American standards of living and energy consumption. A huge global war is coming over resources China is already in the fight with the belt and road process. This planet is over populated period full.stop. Humans would need 4 earth’s to have 8 billion live at EU levels of energy consumption the math is clear and easy to find if one takes 5 min to look for it. So the choice is everyone fights for the limited resources or we use our technology to move to forever resources those that can be grown renewable again and again plants like this one for example, ocean farming since it’s 75% of the surface area. Salt water agriculture all alone the desert coast’s that line the land surfaces.
Humans already have the tech to turn electricity and CO2 into virtually any chemical via catalysts or synthetic biology and DNA editing. Humans already proved we can take electrons water and CO2 from any source(ocean water,the air,biomass,geological CO2 ect) and make a slew of carbon,hydrogenated,and nitrogenated molecules and compounds. These include simple and complex sugars,starches,alcohols, protein with all 9 amino acids,,lipids+fatty acids,hydrocarbons of various lengths and isomers. The first five of those are commonly called food. Yes alcohol is a food and in the USA a good portion of the population gets half or more of their daily caloric intake from alcohol that’s also easy to look up as fact. Carbs(sugars&starches),protein and lipids are all a monogastric needs plus minerals hint humans are ministries. Humans could make human kibble in electrolytic biofermenter tanks by the millions of tonnes via nuclear power or solar / wind. Sack it up as pellets in 25 or 50kg bags and ship it dry just like livestock feed. Add in warm water and you have a gruel that’s complete nutrient balanced for the useless eater humans of the world. Which is not much different than how humans have lived for thousands of years in staple gruel diets. Only the last century changes that for 5 to 10% of the humans living.
