"Space Farming" often refers to crops that are cultivated for human use in space whether that be for human consumption or other research purposes. Although this is not new, It is definitely a new step into agriculture in our world. The global amount of arable land steadily decreases so entrepreneurs and scientist are looking for more land that has the chance to be arable. As mentioned early, this is not something new, scientist have had success growing fruits and vegetables in space. Those were "Armara" mustard and Pak choi.

In 2014, NASA began the "Veggie Project' as an effort to grow fresh vegetables in space. This project started with the simple goal of hoping astronauts can have a reliable source of fresh greens in space. This really all began in 1982 when NASA launched the first plant to be tested growing in space. Plants play a big role purifying the air in the space stations and it also can provide nutrient for astronauts for term.
