This seems amazing, does anyone have any idea what this will do to the food quality? I read that as we increase the CO2 in the air plants grow faster but the ratio of carbs to other nutrients increases and this may be contributing to obesity. Would this be similar?
That said, it's well worth it if you can reduce the cost of food in developing countries.

- jelliclesfarm 8y agoI don’t know how detailed I can get into this.. But short answer: this applies mostly to Rubisco in C3 plants like rice that is almost at par with methane releasing cattle in its environmental impact. (But this seems to be affecting Rubisco in C4 plants like tobacco) It has to do with carbon fixation. This is GMO level: Max. I am cautious. Because some of us still remember the Green Revolution and the Golden Rice fiascos. Same folks.
