There are roughly 51 million acres of land in Minnesota. Roughly 26 million of those acres are agricultural lands. Globally, the Earth is losing 25 million acres a year. For those who live in Minnesota, imagine every single farmer in the state losing their livelihood, every year, in perpetuity.
The Space Agriculture industry can be seen as an attempt to accomplish agricultural feats in the most challenging circumstances imaginable. These feats, which will one day unlock our ability to explore space, are the same feats that will lead the fight against the loss of arable land on Earth.
The answer does not lay in taking resources from the poor areas of the Earth and transplanting them to the wealthy. At the end of that fool's errand, we still share the same planet.
The answer constraints in Space Agriculture are the same. We simply cannot ship our arable lands off-world and call that progress. Keeping the space station operational is acceptable. Stripping the Earth to colonize Mars is not.
Gravity Grains is getting closer to a real answer. The research is expensive and it takes time. If you would like to support our work directly, the best thing you can do is talk about us! Let the world know that we see the problem and we're working on it. Our namesake is in our understanding of the gravity of the situation.
