VANCOUVER — Space food isn't Tang and puréed meat in a tube any longer, in fact it's mushroom bacon and fresh strawberries that have earned a North Vancouver company the grand prize in a Canadian Space Agency and NASA challenge to make food indoors.
“Part of the challenge was to go through a series of tests to make sure that the food that you produce is not only nutritious but it's also tasty,” said Miresmailli, adding that they aren’t just providing concepts to judges but are also a food production company. The CANGrow unit is the size of a wardrobe and operates on standard 120-volt power. It has the potential to generate over 700 kilograms of nutrient-dense food every year, including strawberries, dwarf cherry tomatoes, and the root of a fungus that becomes a meat substitute.
He said the team can use artificial intelligence to remotely look after and grow the plants from Earth, adjusting temperatures and growing conditions.
