As humans vie to become interplanetary, one of the critical needs will be food. While at first the colonies that likely come up on another planet in the future will be stocked with supplies from Earth, over time humans will have to look at the science of growing food in inhospitable environments.
In a bid to push the envelope on farming beyond Earth, Nasa is close to determining the most effective way to provide adequate hydration and aeration for plants to grow in space. A project on this is going on at the International Space Station (ISS) flying 200 miles above Earth in a zero-gravity atmosphere. ....

As NASA plans long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars, a key factor is figuring out how to feed crews during their weeks, months, and even years in space.
Food for crews aboard the International Space Station is primarily prepackaged, requires regular resupply deliveries aboard cargo spacecraft, and degrades in quality and nutrition after about 18 months. But what if astronauts could grow some of their own food in microgravity? Researchers on Earth and crews aboard the International Space Station are exploring the idea by testing various crops and equipment to see if the plan could work. ....
