Space Agriculture Boldly Grows Food Where No One Has Grown Before

Technology advancements have been significantly fueled by space exploration. Space agriculture is boldly growing food where no one has grown it before.

There is a heated debate over whether to invest money in space exploration or use it to address pressing issues on Earth, like climate change and food shortages. However, one argument in favor of space exploration focuses on advantages that actually aid in the study, monitoring, and resolution of important issues like food production and climate change.

As access to space expands, so does the possibilities for terrestrial benefits directly related to space exploration.

Agriculture, for instance, has benefited significantly from the application of space-based breakthroughs to terrestrial challenges. Food items, such as freeze-dried foods, are increasingly likely to have been manufactured with the aid of space-based innovations, such as crop monitoring from space-based observatories.
