This seems like potentially the beginning of the biggest change to human food production since agriculture.

It's early days, but being able to produce food via industrial process is far more amenable to scaling and more predictable than agriculture under the open sky. I imagine it would also be possible to shorten supply chains buy producing the basic feedstock closer to where you produce the consumer food product. That's good for the environment and for food security.

One could picture a future earth where most of the open space is preserved for the wild, and us humans live in and around our cities. Wouldn't that be a nice change from the way we're currently destroying our only home.
