With the climate crisis making many food crops more difficult to grow, some scientists and entrepreneurs are searching for solutions beyond our planet.
Abu Dhabi-based startup StarLab Oasis, a spin-off from Texan company Nanoracks, wants to grow seeds in outer space in order to develop plant varieties that can survive on a less hospitable Earth. In 2023, StarLab Oasis expects to send its first seeds into orbit. From soybeans to quinoa, seeds grow differently in space than on land. Without Earth’s gravitational pull, plants struggle to distinguish which way to grow, and they are also exposed to cosmic radiation.
It’s up to the clients to decide whether they will commercially breed and sell them, he adds. One non-profit it is currently working with is the Dubai-based International Center for Biosaline Agriculture, which is looking to increase the saline and drought tolerance of crops such as quinoa, explains Kiselchuk.
