Genetically engineered food technology is going to play a big role. We already have cotton, corn, and a host of other crops that have been genetically altered to grow in harsh conditions - but we’re about to see more. In as little as ten years, rice, the staple crop for half of the world, could be genetically modified to be a hardier, easier plant to grow. Also, scientists are engineering crops to be more nutritious. I...
