Food

7. Food – alternatives to palm oil and corn syrup
Problem is that these use less land per calorie than other crops, so "coal butter" sounds tempting.

8. Food – alternatives to agriculturally grown food
Growing food in warehouses, or underground might help with extreme wind, rain, heat and cold and pests (not sure about the last) and if yeasts or similar are grown in vats the energy efficiency should be much better, but can you grow more crops from an acre of solar panels than a one acre field ?
We should grow crops between wind turbines, but there are lots of the UK where it is windy and grass grows so much better than other crops that you could probably justify raising meat on the grass.
