It's not possible to make the world more efficient if you have to eat and sleep or suffer through high grocery store prices.
Scientists at the University of Delaware and the University of California-Riverside claim to have found a way to cross one of those seemingly impossible barriers when they convinced plants to grow in darkness. The team used a two step process to convert carbon dioxide, electricity and water. Plants were able to grow in darkness.
According to the release, this method of food production would be 18 times more efficient than the natural process, which uses only 1 percent of the energy found in sunlight. The research was published in a journal.
Robert Jinkerson said in the statement that they sought to identify a new way of producing food that could break through limits.
Is the tomato and cowpea plants still alive? Photos of the results show that it's obvious.

The strategy is cool and will hopefully get even better. There are more ways to grow food.
