Gebäudeintegrierte Pflanzenanbausysteme - Beispiel EDEN ISS

Kurzfassung

The EDEN ISS facility was setup in Antarctica in close vicinity to the German Neumayer Station III in January 2018 and successfully operated between February and November of the same year. During that nine month period around 270 kg of food was produced by the crops cultivated in the greenhouse. Besides the mere production of food for the overwintering crew (10 people) of the Neumayer Station III a large number of experiments were conducted. These experiments delivered valuable data for engineering of future space greenhouses, horticultural sciences, microbiology, food quality and safety, psychology and operation of a food production facility in a remote environment.
