Ideas for the future

Below are what I see as game changing technologies that are currently very immature/entirely theoretical

CO2 sequestration:
- GM Rubisco with enhanced CO2 uptake efficiency -> super efficient trees

Farming:
- vertical farming (more efficient use of space, resources) -> aeroponics, GM crops
- growing native crops in Australia: e.g. Alpine rice (better drought tolerance, higher yields, higher protein content, gluten free)
- greening the deserts: permaculture, desal plants running off solar power

Energy:
- H2 production using artificial photosynthesis (oxygen evolving complex + hydrogenase)/photolysis
- Nuclear fusion
