My thoughts: <a href="http://marojejian.tumblr.com/post/62427675555/tomtato-tomatoes-and-potatoes-in-one" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;marojejian.tumblr.com&#x2F;post&#x2F;62427675555&#x2F;tomtato-tomato...</a><p>Though we clearly need to be very careful with Agrobio, I think history has shown that it will take a lot more technology if we want to meet the goal of, say, allowing all the humans alive today to eat as well as the person reading this. The other option is a lot less humans…<p>Check out the history of the Green Revolution: (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Green_Revolution</a>)<p>or the Haber Process: (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Haber_process</a>).<p>P.S. On a side note, the personal history of Fritz Haber is incredibly interesting, impactful and tragic. Listen to this great Radiolab podcast:<p><a href="http://www.radiolab.org/story/180132-how-do-you-solve-problem-fritz-haber/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.radiolab.org&#x2F;story&#x2F;180132-how-do-you-solve-proble...</a>
