Join us on a journey of discovery. Our mission is clear: to create food systems that are resilient, circular and sustainable so that humans can sustain themselves in the most extreme conditions imaginable. We are pioneers in creating smart, sustainable ways to grow food in space. With a decade of research under our belt, we have figured out ways to grow crops on the Moon and on Mars, turn biowaste into high-quality protein, and use waste products to fertilize regolith.
Now, we must build a special research facility where we test our innovations and make them work together as a circular system. This B.A.S.E. dome will give us a taste of what life will be like on other planets.
Join us and be part of a new chapter in space exploration. Your support is bringing us closer to feeding astronauts on their long journeys and making life on other planets possible. Because we believe that the taste of freshness is a bridge between worlds.

A Lush Green Oasis: Picture a lush, vibrant greenhouse, teeming with life. Here, we will cultivate the crops that will feed our astronauts on distant celestial bodies.
Insect Ecosystem: In our mealworm rearing chamber, we will harness the power of insects to recycle organic waste and provide essential nutrients. These tiny helpers are the key to sustainability in space.
Worm hotels: Waste is a valuable resource in space, and our worm hotels will compost organic waste into fertile soil, ensuring every resource is maximized.
Buzzing with Life: Bumble bee hives will hum with activity, playing a vital role in pollinating our crops. They are our space garden’s hidden heroes.
We Imagine a future where humanity ventures beyond our Earth, exploring the Moon and Mars. To realise our vision, we are creating a food system that is fully circular, sustainable and resilient so that humans can sustain themselves in the most extreme conditions imaginable. At B.A.S.E., we conduct the most ground-breaking and innovative research in the field, using top-notch facilities and expertise. We want to ensure a sustainable and nourishing life for those who dare to embark upon new horizons. Together we will pave the way to an exciting and magical future where humans thrive among the stars.
Kinko sneakily glances at the food-laden tables. She isn’t supposed to be there, but she couldn’t resist. Alongside the fresh vegetables, there are vegetable pastries, insect burgers, mealworm chips, and
At the beginning of the experiment we mixed organic matter, green grass from another experiment (for the purists Lolium perenne L.), into the Martian and lunar soil simulants, for the
