Microalgae: A Solution for Food Security and Multiplanetary Farming
Abstrak
ABSTRACT Human civilization is threatened by food insecurity and habitat loss owing to the cumulative effects of anthropogenic and natural factors. Thus, increasing food production while using fewer resources and exploring the potential of interstellar migration is essential. Particularly, microalgae can fulfil the biological, nutritional, and efficiency requirements of industrial food production on Earth and other potential planets. Herein, we discuss the industrial production of microalgae on Earth and in outer space, along with the technological advances that will help reshape the genetic and chemical properties of microalgae for better production, nutrition, and adaptation. We propose the concept of “multiplanetary farming” to address future requirements for agricultural development. This perspective review is intended to stimulate a broad debate and research on this paramount issue for the future of mankind.
