| Description: | In this report, the team investigate the feasibility of setting up an agricultural system for a permanent Martian settlement. Although there are similarities, the Moon and Mars have very different environments, and therefore they have vastly differing agriculture requirements. Nevertheless, the team believes the Moon will prove to be an excellent testing ground for these systems. |
