The 2010 Agrospace Workshop is focused on the continuum of food production systems whose
demands and requirements within the restrictions of a hazardous Space
environment, or a resource-limited Earth biosphere, each having similar goals
of life-support and maintenance of quality of life.
This 4th
Agrospace Workshop will capitalize on the successes within the Space research
and development community for CE (Controlled Environments), and the recent
surge of CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) on Earth, to improve the
knowledge base, to create a greater user awareness, and help to promote
economic development for industry that will feed our current world, and our
worlds of the future. Expectations, ranging from traditional farms with
greenhouse controlled environments to the unproven systems for urban
agriculture, have been dramatic and distributed among many climate regions of
the Earth in response to the increased consumer demand of high quality, locally
grown, safe foods with efficient use of controlled inputs, and reduced outputs
of system byproducts.
