Hello all, I am wondering can you point me to reading material or share ideas on how manifacure of medicine(and other things currently requiring complex supply chains) can be achieved in anarchist society?

Once you have the genetically modified organisms obviously. But making the genetic modifications doesn't need a very complex setup either, a typical university research lab is sufficiently equipped to do so.

I think I actually read something similar about people doing it in garages(not that I recommend it) the article was around COVID so it was about home made bio weapon. There are kits online and I have no illusion that tomorrow this will produce industrial quantities insulin(that's why the price is so high right RIGHT?) but the idea may be not so far fetched as it initially sounds.
