Space Agrobox: Greek students find way to feed astronauts

A ‘Space Agrobox’ created by two Greek students is a revolutionary device which grows food for astronauts “under microgravity conditions”, according to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA).

Augustinos Pantazidis, a postgraduate student at the Department of Natural Resources and Agricultural Engineering of the Agricultural University of Athens, and Maria Kontogianni, an undergraduate of the same department have designed a device which would enable astronauts to cultivate food of high nutritional value on their own.
