Underground farming
Underground farming is the practice of cultivating food underground. Underground farming is usually done using hydroponics, aeroponics or air-dynaponics systems or container gardens. Light is generally provided by means of grow lamps[1] or daylighting systems (as light tubes).[2]
Present systems
- The Lunar greenhouse is an underground farm made by Phil Sadles and Gene Giacomelli of the University of Arizona's Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC)[3][4] The urine and exhaled air of the astronauts is reused in the system by the plants.[5]
