Actually nothing too fancy. I don't believe in synthetic foods not because they're not natural, but because I think human body is at least one order of magnitude more complicated than we know, and we don't know the peculiarities of dietary needs.
There are some big problems in food supply chain as I see it. Oversupply and too much waste. Moreover, I believe this waste is fueling the oversupply trend.
It's not possible to reduce waste to exactly zero, but throwing away food just because it's not eaten today (by restaurants, hotels and similar establishments) is creating a big waste, which can be used in a much better way. It's also same for baked goods (remember reading a homeless guy's story which volunteered at Starbucks and got free food from the "will be trashed today" pile). Even if we able to feed some people with this so-called waste, that'd be something.
For the oversupply part, it's much more easier said than done, because human and corporation greed comes into play. Free market economy is generally the survival of the fiercest, so who can sell more thrives. So to sell more, you need to catch more. To limit this damage, quotes are put in place, but they're not enforced strictly by anyone AFAICS.
In short, there shall be a system which strictly applies quotas & really punishes the damaging parties, a good scientific commission which decides on quotas with worldwide collaboration and future planning, and an unanimous consensus on climate change and sustainable fishing & farming.
However, while this is a good plan on paper, human is in it and, this makes it a very hard idea to implement, because politics, country economics, personal and corporate interests and everything in between will come into play.
So, these things called growth and hard capitalism is damaging our planet. Mobil knew global warming since 80s and they just hid it. It's the same thing. Greed. Just under different names.
