DISCOVEREDBY SCIENCE
Inspired by NASA and Soviet Union space programmes and further
developed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd and theLUT University.
Solar Foods collaborated with the European Space Agency, ESA
Incubation Centre Finland, by developing a food production conceptfor a mission to Mars as part of the astronauts’ life support system.

Of the 10 000 edible plants that humans havediscovered, we consume only 200. 75% of our foodcomes from just 12 plants and 5 animals,
and 60% of the plants are grains.
