Very possible that we end up with a similar breakdown in 15 years for the tech stack of future food manufacturing (i.e., precision fermentation/cultivated meat):
China manufactures about 80% of the worldâs solar panels, 60% of the worldâs wind turbines, 70% of the worldâs EVs, and 75% of the worldâs batteries â all at a lower cost than the West.
