As NASA plans for longer crewed missions to Mars and beyond, it will need innovative and sustainable food systems. NASA and the Canadian Space Agency are seeking ideas for novel food production technologies or systems that require minimal resources and produce minimal waste while providing safe, nutritious and tasty food for long-duration human exploration missions. Solutions from this challenge could enable new avenues for food production on Earth.
U.S. participants may compete for part of a prize purse of up to $500,000 from NASA. The Canadian Space Agency is hosting a parallel competition with a prize purse for Canadian teams. Qualifying teams from other countries may compete but will not be eligible for monetary prizes.
