Additionally, traditional farming occupies nearly half of the world’s habitable land, contributes to high greenhouse gas emissions, and is sensitive to climate conditions. This makes it difficult to sustain photosynthesis-driven food production amid changing weather patterns.
Electro-agriculture on the other hand, uses renewable energy from sources like solar cells to convert CO2 (from the air) into acetate. Plants can use this acetate to fulfill their carbon and energy requirements without relying on sunlight or large amounts of land because the process can be scaled vertically.
