Pathways to food from CO2 via ‘green chemical farming’

Nature Sustainability volume 5, pages 907–909 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

While traditional farming has fed billions of people, it is exerting mounting pressure on land, water and the environment. To complement current agricultural practices, we present a green chemical farming concept that provides pathways to efficient and renewable food production by leveraging chemistry and chemical engineering.
