Scientists Have Created Artificial Photosynthesis to Grow Food Without SunshinePhotosynthesis is a biological process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar. Scientists at UC Riverside and the University of Delaware have now found a way to do this process artificially. This process breaks through the limits of biological photosynthesis.​Their process boosts the conversion efficiency of sunlight into food and makes it up to 18 times more efficient for some foods. Why does this technique have such a promising future? The answer is because, as food production becomes more efficient, less land is required. Thus there is a reduction in the environmental effect of agriculture. There are countless possibilities with this technology.​Image credit: Marcus Hardland-Dunaway#Photosynthesis #Artificial #Science #Agriculture #Bioengineering
