Cyberpunk food
| The kind of food that is this sort of raw nutrient powder in a bottle and you mix it with water. Can be flavored. I bet it's going to be used as cheap food by the working class as it does not take too much time to consume and allows to go back quickly to your forced labour.
| GMOs like golden rice have vitamin A and are being planted where foods with that vitamin are hard to find. Many regions of the would might get access to better nutrition. GMOs could become the fourth agricultural revolution.
Then again our current economic system also uses a massive amount of soy, grains and corn on feeding the meat industry so these innovation might not have that impact we hope for due to our economic system. The problem is overproduction and wastefulness...
| Lab grown meat is a thing now, so that's pretty cool.
| Cyberpunk's agrocultures are pretty interesting - fermers grow huge amount of food, but giant corporations sell seeds which can't produce new seeds. That's capitalism of future.
Also, all agrocorporations invent parasytes and special deseases for competitor's plants.

He certainly based his idea in a sci-fi book.
