The point the British analyst and the BBC narrator missed is the potential environmental benefits of using the solar created foots as an input for animal feeds as an alternative to arable proteins sources like soy beans and fat sources like palm oil. It's the ever rising demand for these arable food sources that are driving the destruction of all kinds of ecosystems such as rainforest and marshes. Obviously the solar foods protein animal feed would need to be cheaper that soya beans animal feed but I think that would be possible given the lower input and transport costs once the solar foods reach a large scale.
Prof. Tim Benton is unreasonably unfair in his assessment!! saying if we have a cheap high-quality protein powder people will use it only in unhealthy snacks is really odd!!
I find the extremely pessimistic British analysis annoying. Making ultra-processed foods cheaper and healthier is bad because people will eat more of them? If they are cheaper and healthier, then won't they be less bad? You have to really squint to see swapping out milk powder (which is used to cause premature aging in lab rats) for a powder that has more fiber and less fecal matter in it as bad to health. You have to squint really hard to say that a product that directly replaces beef might not be amazing for our environment because it.. checks notes... might not always use super clean electricity? Try feeding a cow clean energy. As we electrify everything, from our fertilizers and foods to our cars and furnaces, we enable the whole economy to go green with our grid, which is happening rapidly anyway. It is not Solar Food's job to make the grid or ammonia green, but to prepare a food source that can take advantage of that.

Is there an Index Fund for this category?
ETF wise the closest you can find that I've seen is www.vegtechinvest.com

Yeah agreed. It’s like the EV’s suck and will never work because the grid still has coal plants crowd.
Imagine people like this have gone through the education system.
