Space planting technology involves growing plants in space environments, such as spacecraft or on other celestial bodies. It relies on controlled environment systems, including LED lighting, precise nutrient delivery, environmental control, plant selection, waste recycling, and continuous monitoring.

This technology is essential for long-duration space missions and future space colonization, as it can provide a reliable source of food, oxygen, and life-support functions. At the same time, the knowledge gained from space-based agriculture can be applied on Earth to improve controlled environment farming, enhance resource efficiency, and support sustainable agricultural practices.
