All the energy we have is indirectly coming from Sun.
(Solar Energy -> Plants -> Animals/Humans).
The energy generated from food in our body is chemical energy called Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
I met employees of one startup company in New York that has filed a patent to directly convert Solar Energy to ATP. The technology is in a very early stages and would be used as an alternative energy.
An extreme extrapolation of this technology would be that we may not need to eat food in future.
