Grow+Synthetic+Food

Synthetic Food The future of humanity depends on the actions of all human beings right now. People in the present do not see how doomed our future can be due to rising climate changes and an expansive increase in human population. The rapid population increase will lead us to vastly increase food production all over the world. This means the population growth can at some point in the future, exceed the food production and once that happens everything goes downhill. This is why new food technology should be invested in right now. Resorting to different style farms like algae farms or growing synthetic food can tremendously help the future. Resorting to synthetic foods can help us save the cost of tearing down more forests for more farmland. Meat consumption is on a rise and people need to find a way to substitute meat. This is where synthetic foods come in to play. These substitutes would cost less energy, water, and land to produce. Although the problem with this is that the technology and research needed to produce such solution would cost a fortune right now. Ethical propositions arise from the people too as growth hormones are already an ethical problem right now. If this would not work then algae could help. Algae farms can free up more farmland and produce more biofuel per acre. Algae can be used in different ways like fuel, food, and fertilizers. The problem with this would be eventually in the future we would run out of room for this as well as this solution would probably only temporarily solve the problem until the population exceeds production.

Grow Synthetic Food Food growth on the planet has contributed to the increase of greenhouse gases, deforestation, and the lack of water supply. Animal agriculture and the mass production of crops is greatly responsible for the rapid heating of the planet. The mass food production around the world has taken a toll on the planet. The population of the planet is rising and increasing the demand for more food production, the question is, can the planet sustain it? The benefits of synthetic food growth can be the answer we need to sustainable growth food enough for the population. The Benefits of synthetic food growth in meat are less deforestation and less negative side effects from grazing, also reducing the amount of water needed and green gas emissions that producing real meat does. Although there is no precedent and regulations in the United States for the artificially produced meat, making it hard for it to be available for the public. With all synthetically growth food the intentions are good, to reduce the overall effects of climate change caused by the production of food, but the long term side effects from introducing it on a wide scale cannot be predicted. Overall synthetically growth food could save the planet by reducing the environmental effects of agriculture, reducing the amount of water, increasing the food supply, and reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by farming.(NS)

Growing Synthetic Food

There are many benefits to growing synthetic food, especially if we need to save the Earth for human habitation. If we grow synthetic food, we wouldn’t have to worry about breeding and killing so many animals, which would greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. There wouldn’t be much concern about feeding and cleaning up after them either. Additionally, synthetic foods require much less space and water to be produced. In the future, people might even be able to use 3D printers to print their food right in their homes. Synthetic foods can be produced to meet and exceed health and nutrition standards, which could be especially beneficial to impoverished nations.

However, there are also limitations to growing synthetic food. Besides the the fact that synthetic food wouldn’t taste nearly as good as organic foods, as of today, growing these foods requires huge bioreactors to cultivate the cells used in synthetic food production. A lot of these vats would need to be made, as they only produce enough food for 10,000 people. We also have to consider the long-term effects of synthetic food consumption. Humans have never been exposed to eating such food for an extended period of time, so there’s no way of telling what effect it could have on the human body. What if they cause cancer or digestional issues? There’s no way of telling until we have more experience dealing with this matter, as growing synthetic food is a fairly recent concept. (EB)

Growing Synthetic Food In order to save civilization from the impending doom we may face in the future, growing synthetic food could potentially help the planet. Over the years, it has taken less and less time and money to create synthetic food. Already, synthetic products such as pork, chicken, fish, milk, eggs, and leather are being worked on. Artificial milk and egg whites can be made with genetically modified yeast. Growing synthetic food would decrease livestock farms and therefore decrease greenhouse emissions, as well as free up space on the planet. Synthetic food may also potentially taste better than authentic food. Instead of slaughtering million of animals, consciences will be saved by growing food synthetically.

The limitations of synthetic food growth are numerous. The whole process of growing synthetic food is difficult and time consuming. There must be a high rate of cell division and it is also very costly to create proper culture mediums for the synthetic food. The whole process of creating synthetic food, especially meat, is difficult, since the meat would need to be produced without a vascular system. The first ever lab burger grown took two years and over $300,000 to make. Numerous bioreactors would be needed in order to sustain and create viable meat for everyone on the planet. Vegetarians and vegans may also have the problem with the serum since it uses animal blood. Additionally, it is possible that the amount of serum would never be enough to produce the amount of cells needed to feed people and sustain life on the planet. (JC)
