With the increasing challenges of climate change and food security on Earth, it may be difficult to understand why we should devote so many of our limited resources to space travel and feeding astronauts. However, the innovations in space technology have tremendous value with terrestrial applications in how we can create resilient solutions with innovative food systems that can directly tackle food insecurity, and provide the necessary nutrition in areas of natural disaster or food deserts.
Our panel of experts will explore how innovations designed for space and new developments in alternative proteins can create a regenerative, circular agriculture system suitable for deep space travel, and also to support a healthy and biodiverse ecosystem here on earth.
