The most extreme places to grow food
Have you ever thought about growing food in the subzero temperatures of the arctic tundra, or even in space, on a space station or on a far away planet? This week Matt and Lukxmi meet Benjamin Vidmar (founder of Polar Permaculture Solutions) and Angelo Vermeulen (Co-Founder of SEADS - Space Ecologies Art & Design) to talk about farming in "the extreme” and why it’s such an important area of study.
