🎥 LA CULTURE SPATIALE – SPACE FARMING 🚀🌱
✨ L’agriculture sur la Lune, c’est l’avenir ! Qui aurait cru que la terre lunaire pourrait un jour nourrir des astronautes ? 🌙🍅
🤔 À votre avis, peut-on réellement cultiver sur la Lune ? 🌑
📺 À découvrir sur YouTube, Odysee et Rumble – @fralibou

🌙 What would you grow in a moon garden?
We imagined a greenhouse in lunar orbit—not one for survival, but one for presence. Coleus for color, mint for scent. Butterfly pea for blue tea.
Even in a place like the moon, there might be room for a little color, a little comfort, a little life.
A quiet exploration of how imagining life beyond Earth can bring us closer to it. ❤️

🚀 Would You Eat Mushrooms in Space?
They grow fast, use almost no water, and give you vitamin D. SpaceX is testing mushroom farming in orbit. Tang and astronaut ice cream are looking pretty good right now.

The Space Sprouts demo is incredibly charming! 🚀 I love the unique gameplay and chaotic movements. I can tell the story has a lot of potential. Excited for when this game launches.

From #SpaceFarming to STEM education: Grace Crain-Wright is making science exciting! 🌱💡
As part of the European Space Agency’s #MELiSSA project, she tackled a wild challenge: growing plants using human waste-derived nutrients (yes, really!). Her research at ETH Zürich helped shape the future of sustainable space travel and circular agriculture on Earth.
#Plantbreeding can remove toxic compounds from #potatoes & #tomatoes, making them safer to eat & easier to store. The breakthrough could cut #foodwaste and enhance crop #farming in space & other extreme environments: https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2024/12/20/growing-safer-spuds-removing-toxins-potatoes #glycoalkaloids #foodsafety #shelflife #spacefarming
Plant food could be grown on the red planet: Mars has no nutrients or organic matter, so there’s no real soil in its regolith, but tomatoes, peas & carrots might grow well if housed in colonies with greenhouse-like structures to protect them: https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-024-03345-x #spacefarming
Some useful payload for greenhouses 🌱 on #Mars 🔴 ? 🤔 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVcQp-WQbF0
#Potato 🥔 is believed to be one of the top contenders for #SpaceAgriculture. Whole-Body Edible and Elite Plant (#WBEEP) development might create a potato for #SpaceFarming 🌱🌌 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-26238-3
Will future astronauts farm silkworms for food?

“According to mushroom growers and scientists designing future foods for astronauts, there are a lot of good reasons why fungi might make an important contribution to spacefaring humans' diets, from their nutritional profile to their ability to grow quickly in dark, confined spaces.”
Gardeners of the Galaxy year in review. In March, I spoke with Jeremy Curtis of the UK Space Agency about the famous apple pips Tim Peake took to the International Space Station!

Gardeners of the Galaxy Year in Review. I have such fond memories of this episode from February, chatting about sending dates into space with Dr Carl Carruthers 🤩
