Plant Cultivation in Space for Food Production and Resource Regeneration: Opportunities, Constraints, and Advances in Technology
Time: 10:15 - 11:25
Room: Red Hall 2
Format: Workshop
Upcoming commercial and touristic space missions have made the need for efficient cultivation in space relevant. By attending this workshop, you will embark on a journey exploring the challenge of growing plants in space, and land on an innovative vertical farming technology, demonstrated with a prototype, that efficiently manages the few available resources. Together, we will identify new research directions for plant cultivation systems, with the goal of making this technology fully efficient and sustainable.
