What this episode covers
Climate change is projected to have significant impacts on food production and supply in some parts of the world. One day, space missions to the moon will need to be able to provide astronauts with a supply of fresh food and right now researchers are working at hi-tech greenhouses at the South Pole that are growing fresh vegetables. Gene Giacomelli, Director of the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center at the University of Arizona discusses the advances in hydroponic crop production within controlled environments to sustainable meet the demands for food production. In this episode: Gene Giacomelli, Ph. D. and Director of the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center at the University of Arizona; Leslie Tolbert, Ph. D. Regents' Professor in the University of Arizona's Department of Neuroscience
