AI + Climate + Food

For the Mars to Table challenge, I’m building a hybrid, near-closed-loop bioregenerative food system that transforms how we sustain long-duration space missions, moving toward nutritional autonomy. My system integrates:
🌱 Hydroponics & Soil-based crops
🧬 Algae/Microbial bioreactors
🍄 Mycelium-based waste recycling
🐜 BSFL insect protein conversion
🖨️ 3D-bioprinted "TrueTexture" meals

While this is engineered for the 15-person Mars habitat, the core technology is a blueprint for Earth’s most food-insecure regions. By combining modular vertical farming with radical waste-recycling, this architecture creates a pathway to hyper-efficient, climate-resilient food production—whether in urban food deserts, disaster-relief zones, or remote research outposts, solving for calories on Mars, while building a scalable, circular food economy for a more resilient planet. 🌍→🚀

An end-to-end, vertically integrated space food system simulation framework engineered for a 15-member surface expedition crew on Mars over a 500-Sol mission footprint.

The system utilizes a Python-based biosimulation codebase paired with a $3\text{ m}^3$ singular rack architectural layout to optimize caloric density and achieve a 96.5% closed-loop fluid recovery efficiency.
