Here's an idea that looks like a potential winner ... 3D vertical farming in the ocean.
Grow kelp and other seaweeds to be used as vegetable input into our diet, along with edible molluscs, use small-scale fish traps to supplement the crop with a fish catch (or, better still, integrate a fish farm into the setup) and it becomes possible to produce food efficiently with only a small area footprint.
Furthermore, on a sufficiently large scale, ocean farming of this sort could become a new, and valuable, carbon sink.
