Scalable synthesis of food ingredients could be the final agriculture revolution. Picture fields and farms replaced by smaller, dense industrial complexes more akin to an oil refinery. Some of the saved space could be used for solar panels to provide energy for the synthesis process, and the rest rewilded.
And hydrogen would be an important feedstock, so maybe that "hydrogen economy" thing might happen after all.
