Space agriculture boldly grows food where no one has grown before

<https://theconversation.com/space-agriculture-boldly-grows-food-where-no-one-has-grown-before-184818>

"Whether to spend money on outer space exploration or to apply it to solve
serious problems on Earth, like climate change and food shortages, is a
contentious debate. But one argument in favour of space exploration highlights
benefits that do, in fact, help study, monitor and address serious concerns
like climate change and food production.

As access to space increases, the potential for terrestrial benefits directly
tied to space exploration grow exponentially.

For example, agriculture has been improved significantly through the
application of space-based advances to terrestrial challenges. It is now
increasingly likely that food items have been produced with the assistance of
space-based technologies, like freeze-dried foods, or through the use of crop
monitoring from space-based observatories."
