Silicon Valley is betting big on Clean Meat, the ability produce actual meat, without killing a single animal. Also, Elon's brother, Kimbal, is bringing farms into cities in the form of shipping containers, and are proving to be 100x more effective than farming in fields.

We don't need to feed the world, we need to get smarter about food. The Industrial food system built in the 60s and 70s has left us simultaneously fat and starving and it's time for it to die. There's an opportunity for smart young entrepreneurs to build a new smart food system that supplies the natural, local food people are demanding.
