ALLFED has nearly completed our prioritization, and given the amount of commercialization that has already been done on resilient foods, we think we are ready to partner with other companies to do piloting of the most promising solutions in a way that is valuable for global catastrophes (e.g. very fast construction). Repurposing a paper mill for sugar (and protein if the feedstock is agricultural residues) is a good large project. But there is also fast construction of pilot scale of natural gas (methane) single cell protein and the fast construction of pilot scale hydrogen single cell protein (splitting water or gasifying a solid fuel such as biomass). Furthermore, there is the backup global radio communication system that would be extremely useful for loss of electricity scenarios.
I think there still is quite a bit of research to be done, especially analyzing cooperation scenarios and the potential of resilient food production by country. This could help inform country-level response plans. This could be facilitated by setting up a research institute on resilient foods. Another possibility is running an X prize for radical new solutions.
