I'm looking examples and ideas and contributions for e.g. published studies of feasibilities, and even if some models might have nowadays some economical limitations, that does not mean those could not be solved tomorrow.
Here are some examples of resent studies, which could be helpful for other researchers to continue finding solutions to the food shortage issue and the reality that we are not running out the sea water:
