Fresh Food on Mars?

A special greenhouse project has grown vegetables without any soil or light in sub-zero Antarctica.

The project’s called Eden ISS, and itschief systems engineer, Matthew Bamsey, said similar technologies could be applied into harsh environments and remote communities, to provide them with fresh produce.

Mr Bamsley said the technology was so advanced, fresh produce could can even be grown on Mars.

“We can spray the plants with the nutrients that they need to really grow effectively, without having to bring soil,” said Mr Bamsley.

“We don’t use natural light, we have LEDs, which can be tailored for every plant to optimize plant growth. We water the plants by a technology where the plant is fixed but the roots are sitting in air.”

The engineers hope the technology will allow people to sustain future colonies on Mars and complete longer space exploration.

We need to be informed and the world needs to be kept accountable.

But in an era of digital disruption and falling news audiences, the media must take a different view on what news is, and how stories are constructed.

Negative emotions have served us well during an age of flight or fight. But it’s the positive emotions that drive society forward – and that is the era we are currently stepping into.

Media has the power to move society and send a positive ripple out into the world.
