Webinar: Shortfalls of Food Production in Space and Future Needs
Wed Sep 17 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EDT
|
| Join the Beyond Earth Institute for a conversation about the critical challenge of food production in space. This webinar will examine the current gaps in space-based food systems, the specific needs of planned missions, and how these fit into the broader Moon to Mars Strategy.
We’ll explore:
- What food production systems are missing or underdeveloped for current and future missions.
- How these gaps impact mission planning and crew sustainability.
- Whether and how space agriculture could benefit Earth-based food systems.
- What policy actions are needed to address these challenges including funding focuses and methods to incentivize critical research.
Panelists:
- Jacob Scoccimerra (Moderator), Founder at Monolith Space
- Arttu Luukanen, SVP of Space and Defense at Solar Foods
- Ralph Fritsche, Subject Matter Expert on Food Systems in Space
- Ben Greeves, PhD Student at University of Colorado Boulder
