In a similar vein how does Spirulina look? I hear it is very efficient in terms of protein per sq meter per year compared to using the same space to raise grazing animals.
While it’s true that artificial light growth doesn’t take much land directly, the solar panels might take up more land than a regular farm. Furthermore, it is very expensive. However, we are investigating microalgae growth in open ponds.

This reminds me that I recently learned about azolla—https://theazollafoundation.org/azollas-uses/for-food/. Individuals who want to do hands-on experimentation could grow some and explore culinary uses.
Azolla sounds promising. There has been some work on duckweed.
We actually did mention Azolla here.
