One of the ideas is reflecting more light into space by making it permintely overcast, right? Seed clouds high in the atmosphere. That one is really drastic, and might not even lower temperatures. Lowering carbon emissions is less expensive and has fewer side effects than alternatives. But we might need to still do those if we shoot way past climate targets before we cut our emissions.

How does that mesh with investing in solar energy production and growing enough food for people to survive?

Those would be some of the side effects. But I could definitely also be remembering wrong too.
