    There was a startup that made a splash last year by claiming they had a process that could manufacture organic compounds, including edible fats resembling animal-derived butter, out of nothing but carbon dioxide, water, and energy, through a Fischer-Tropsch process.

    I could see a world where people on a spaceship more efficiently use their sunlight to create synthetic edible macronutrients rather than using that same sunlight to try to grow edible plants.
