Yeah, if these turn out to be feasible and healthy, we could potentially produce at least an order of magnitude more food with a fraction of the climate impact. Mycoproteins are already quite widely available as meat substitutes and are cultivated in vats. I don't know what's the consensus on health impact though, presumably it can't be too bad
I think health impact might be the biggest concern, but I can't imagine that's an insolvable problem.
