Scientists harvest vegetables from Antarctic greenhouse

The video discusses a method developed to grow fruits and vegetables in space without sunlight or soil, using a high-tech greenhouse in Antarctica. This greenhouse employs optimized lighting, a closed water system, and controlled carbon dioxide levels to grow produce despite harsh external conditions. The first harvest yielded fresh greens, cucumbers, and radishes. The project, led by the German Aerospace Center, aims to expand the variety of produce to support future human missions to the moon or Mars.
