How space-age nutrition techniques could help feed a growing Earth
In short: Explore the vital connection between food and life, from our daily meals to long-duration space missions. This ESA video examines how we sustain ourselves in the most extreme environments.
Hosted by ESA life scientist Nicole Sentse, the video explores how the human body utilizes food as both energy and essential building materials. It examines the consequences of nutritional deficiency, whether on our planet or during spaceflight.
The programme also investigates research into preserving and cultivating food for long-term space travel. Crucially, it highlights how technologies developed for space missions may provide solutions for Earth's food security challenges, such as population growth and climate change.
