Space agriculture is becoming a new frontier of research as scientists look to outer space as a potential home for humans. Dr. Santosh Pitla, associate professor of biological systems engineering, and Dr. Yufeng Ge, Eberhard Professor of Agriculture and professor of biological systems engineering, founded the Consortium of Space, Policy, Agriculture, Climate and Extreme Environment (SPACE2) to research ways to sustainably grow food on space stations, the moon, Mars and other celestial bodies that might eventually sustain legions of the human kind.
