Mycorrhizal Fungi Enable Chickpea Seed Production in Simulated Lunar Regolith Scientists have coaxed chickpeas to full seed production in simulated lunar soil and it took an evolutionary partnership 400 million years in the making to pull it off. For the first time, scientists have grown a food crop to full seed production in simulated lunar regolith. By inoculating chickpea (Cicer arietinum) seeds with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), researchers enabled plants to complete their reproductive cycle in a substrate composed of up to 75% lunar soil simulant.

Growing Future Meals in Space Will Require Human Waste Future farmers on the Moon and Mars will have a big challenge: how to grow healthy food in two extremely unhealthy environments. That's because the soil on both worlds isn't at all hospitable to plants and animals. Neither are other conditions. Both are irradiated worlds, Mars has a thin atmosphere and the Moon has none at all. So, how will future colonists on either world grow their food?
