Can we farm on Mars to save the Earth? As climate change and resource depletion threaten global food security, scientists are looking to the stars for answers. This documentary explores the cutting-edge engineering and science behind space farming, from growing Dutch potatoes in Martian soil simulants to 3D-printing ribeye steaks on the ISS. Discover how "circular agriculture" designed for the vacuum of space—where every drop of water and gram of waste is recycled—is being brought back to Earth to reboot our traditional farming systems.
