Deep Space Food Challenge

 

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is working with NASA on the Deep Space Food Challenge, a competition to develop new technologies to produce food for future space missions while expanding opportunities for food production on Earth.

The Deep Space Food Challenge seeks to create novel food production technologies that require minimal inputs (materials, energy, water, etc.) and maximize safe, nutritious, and palatable food.

These innovations will not only be used for long-duration space missions, but will also have the potential to benefit people on Earth, particularly in remote and harsh environments, such as Canada’s North.

The Deep Space Food Challenge is calling all Canadian innovators to submit a design concept for their food production technology by July 30, 2021.

 

More information about the challenge can be found on the website.

 

Bioenterprise Corporation, in collaboration with Zone Agtech will hold a Networking Event on April 29th at 11:00am EST.
