Abstract
The history of agriculture on Earth has spanned thousands of years marked by great innovations needed to meet the challenges of the day. The space environment presents new challenges for growing plants from partial gravity to recycling plant and human waste in a closed environment. Regolith plays an important role in research for developing agricultural systems on planetary surfaces such as the moon and Mars. This work reviews the history of growing plants in space and regolith-based agriculture including the challenges faced and the solutions attempted. Though many solutions have been developed, significant knowledge gaps remain which provide great opportunities for the future of off-world agricultural research and great returns for creating more sustainable practices for terrestrial agriculture.
期刊介绍：
Started in 1914 as the second scientific journal to be published from India, the Journal of the Indian Institute of Science became a multidisciplinary reviews journal covering all disciplines of science, engineering and technology in 2007. Since then each issue is devoted to a specific topic of contemporary research interest and guest-edited by eminent researchers. Authors selected by the Guest Editor(s) and/or the Editorial Board are invited to submit their review articles; each issue is expected to serve as a state-of-the-art review of a topic from multiple viewpoints.
