A possible game-changer in food security on a global scale

Dear Editor,
The research being done at Cornell University on feeding the world sustainably is game-changing, and it would allow resources to be freed up for other uses while also reducing the carbon footprint associated with humans.
In Cornell University’s Cornell Chronicle’s press release, titled “Onshore algae farms could feed the world sustainably”, the University discusses how an increase in food production by more than 50% is possibly achievable.
The article stated that “protein-dense microalgae (single-celled), grown in onshore, seawater-fed aquaculture systems” might be the solution. This protein-rich food thrives on CO2 which is a gas that the oil sector is bringing into the environment. Harnessing the excess unwanted CO2 of the sector would allow for food production that is rich in protein, surpassing fish, while also reducing the CO2 in the environment.
This adds to the sustainable nature of the oil sector, and allows for the solution of two major problems facing the planet: climate change and food security.
Recently, I had opportunity to taste plant-based meat, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. The solution being proposed at Cornell University could help fuel the growth of that industry as well.
The Government should consider having the University of Guyana and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly approach Cornell University to discuss opportunities to partner with them in this research.

Best regards,
