Nature synthesizes starch from carbon dioxide and water, sure. Corn plants do that, for example. Now a team of scientists from China claim they have found a way to synthesize starch in a way that is even more efficient than corn plants. They claim 8.5x higher efficiency compared to corn, and that their process will use a lot less space compared to farming corn.

Not doing it with plants means less demand on land and water and less pesticides, lots of upside from this perspective.

Two major questions must be answered.

Can you ferment it?

And can you make it sweet?
