That was it, efficient, effective ways to grow food in a space
environment. Petri dish for cultured muscle tissue for the grill or
microwave. This was part of a Google+ conversation in comments on a
Google+ post with a friend.
Still, sprouts need only water while grasses and other plants need
growing medium that is soil-like i.e. sunflower, a recyclable scaffold
for the roots to grow into with nutrient, similar with spirulina and
chlorella, container and nutrient. In a space environment I would assume
they would maintain a culture library of beneficial microorganisms for
use in food production and sewage treatment, recycling humanure as
soil-like growing medium and nutrients and secondary biological
treatment of liquid back to potable water; they already do this.
