This is my artists concept of a future Lunar Bio-grow station that is fully equipped to provide fresh food for a lunar colony that is grown year-round using various technologies from compartmentalized grow boxes, hydroponics, to advanced aquaponics. It will also include pre-processing facilities underground as well as living quarters for the lunar farmers.
I chose this subject because I have a long-standing interest in the development of advanced farming methods that will work effectively in harsh environments here on earth, on off-world moons and planets, and in space stations. Air, water and food are primarily important to the life of a colony and I believe designing effective facilities that take advantage of the latest proven technologies is of paramount importance. I hope my image inspires the colonists of the future to build stations like mine for future habitation.
