...a large variety of food could be produced in the dark using their method, including green algae, yeast, and fungal mycelium...

Yum!

[NWFree]

Cool - send all the libtards to the dark side of the moon so we can live in peace 🤪

[M Kehoe]

Mushrooms. You keep them in the dark and feed them sh!t.

Kinda reminds me of the government and media.

Good to know in case the sun ever dies we can grow food. /sarcasm

[Billthedrill]

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your mycelium?

[AppyPappy]

I need this for my weed

[joshua c]

or just grow crickets to make flour

probably cheaper

"The researchers...used a two-step electrocatalytic process to convert carbon dioxide, electricity, and water into acetate, which is the main component in vinegar. They then applied the acetate to food-producing organisms in the dark, causing these organisms to grow."

Sounds like a scientific version of a Rube Goldberg contraption, i.e., making something complicated that is really quite simple. I'll continue to prefer the old-fashioned method of using sunlight to grow things.

[Sacajaweau]

forget it....soon there will be no co2

[Telepathic Intruder]

Just when plants thought they knew everything.

[P-Marlowe]

they can combine their method with solar panels to generate the electricity required to power the electrolysis.

Using sunlight to grow food withou sunlight.

[Paal Gulli]

Artificial photosynthesis can produce food without sunshine

“Scientists at UC Riverside and the University of Delaware...”

[Sacajaweau]

is the end product exactly the same in every aspect...nutrition, calories, minerals...I have to believe the sun gives more than heat and light to plants.

[ocrp1982]

If Yellowstone were to erupt the survivors will need to utilize this method for about 6 years afterward.

[packagingguy]

Where does the electricity come from?

[Rebelbase]

You’ll be eating green algae, yeast, and fungal mycelium and you’ll be happy.

Electricity? So the plants are now coal powered instead of solar powered.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

This will come in handy when we all have to live underground for a decade after the nuclear holocaust.

They have already messed up a lot of the vegetables with their modern science. It has been years since I found a tomato that I could enjoy.

[TigersEye]

A new breakthrough in biology allows scientists to grow food without sunlight

UC Riverside researchers...say they can combine their method with solar panels to ...

LOL someone missed the contradiction there completely.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Sounds great ... but what is the economy of scale here. Is this an interesting laboratory experiment. Let’s envision this for feeding 1-10 million people. A million acres of wheat, corn, potatoes, etc.
