## Resource

Growing food in space is no longer theoretical. From the first flower blooming in orbit to crops adapting to microgravity, scientists are learning how plants survive without Earth’s conditions. These systems could sustain astronauts on future missions while also advancing vertical farming and high-tech agriculture back on Earth.
