🚀 “The only way that humans can be explorers is if we take our plants with us.” – Anna-Lisa Paul, Research Professor and Director of ICBR at the University of Florida 🍅 Did you know, that they have a small-scale garden at the International Space Station, to grow their own tomatoes and chile peppers? I assume a self-harvested tomato tastes 100 times better than the "usual" freeze-dried astronaut food. 🌠 No matter what your opinion to planetary expansion is, this article from Tryanni Chiaravalloti gives an interesting insight into space farming.

NASA's upcoming lunar mission will test the viability of moon-grown plants, with the support of La Trobe scientists 🌒 🌿 Slated for 2026, Artemis III will see astronauts land on the Moon for the first time in 50-years, with a payload of plant experiments focused on developing lunar-based agriculture for future space travellers. 'The seeds we send to the Moon will germinate in an enclosed capsule, which we'll monitor through a remote camera. Our team will collect data on the plants as they grow, monitoring size and morphology, then conduct genetic and metabolic analyses of individual cells when the plants return to Earth,' said Professor Mathew G Lewsey of the La Trobe Institute for Sustainable Agriculture and Food. The history-making venture may not only prove vital to supporting space travel to the Moon, Mars and beyond, but the data will also be applied to improve plant resilience back home.

👨🚀Do you know why astronauts always lose weight? 🤔 They don’t like the food! 🚀 Freeze-dried meals just don’t cut it for long space missions, but space farming might be stepping in as the solution🌱. Researchers like Wieger Wamelink from Wageningen University & Research are working on growing fresh crops on the Moon and Mars, potentially offering a sustainable way to feed astronauts that could also inspire sustainable farming on Earth 🌾🥬. It’s not easy—space farming faces challenges like extreme temperatures and cosmic radiation—but breakthroughs in technology are bringing this vision closer to reality. 🌍🌌 What do you think—would you try fresh space-grown veggies? 🌱🥗 [Image created by AI]
