Using CRISPR-Cas9, scientists engineered a yeast to produce the nutrient feed.
Farmers could have it in two years.
So they solved a problem we create ourselves, by destroying nature, by making a product that now increases the cost of food and makes farmers even more dependent on corporate chemical companies to grow it.
Yep, you can’t charge money in perpetuity if you solve the actual problem. Not only that, but bees will eventually become reliant on the product. This is how the US Healthcare system works as well.
Hell they might even genetically engineer them to be dependent on it.
