Vertical gardens are another solution. Vertical gardens are not affected by changing weather conditions so crops can be grown all year without being susceptible to things like heat waves or even changing seasons. Vertical gardens also solve the problem of competing land use. One acre of vertical garden equals to the equivalent of 10-20 acres of normal farming land produce.

Genetically modifying our crops is an easy way to tackle climate change. For years companies have been modifying their crops to be bigger, juicer and more appealing to consumers, But how can we use this to solve the problem the climate change has created? Scientists can create crops that are genetically modified to withstand conditions such as extreme heat or flooding. these crops will continue to produce seed which carry the modified genes and in turn fixing the problem. Genetically modified crops have had no adverse effects either, across the world more that a trillion GM meals have been served without a single case of GM create illness.
As we know livestock is being seriously affected by climate change, but what if we didn't need livestock to create meat? Father son duo Gabor and Andreas Forgacs came up with the idea of bioprinting meat. Bioprinting meat will dramatically reduce the impact of meat production as well as providing a solution to the problem of climate change. In 2012 it took 60 billion land animals to feed 7 billion humans, by bioprinting meat we could seriously reduce this number. By bioprinting meat it can also solve the problem of competing land use. Bioprinting will use 99% less land, 96% less water, 96% fewer greenhouse gases, and 45% less energy.
