Can We Do Farming On Mars?

Yes, It’s possible to do farming on Mars but yet seems difficult too. Several challenges may be faced in growing plants on Mars. Crops on earth grow because of gravity, atmospheric pressures, and ultraviolet radiation levels. Plants require well-hydrated, bacteria-rich soil, and daily sunshine to grow. On the other hand, Mars is a lifeless, desert with only about 50% of the sunlight that we experience.

However, Mars is not completely without resources. The most important thing is, Water is stored in the form of polar ice caps. Recently, an underground saline reservoir has been discovered. Studies also show that plants can grow in the thin topsoil of Mars. But, creating an environment like Earth will be a poor plan as it will strain the limited resources on the deadly planet.

Thus, martial crops can be adopted. Plants can be engineered to use less water and produce more. Also, it should have the capacity to tolerate cold temperatures. This deadly planet does have a low gravity but that won’t be an issue for plants to grow. Martian soil is good for farming. It’s better than nutrient-poor Earth soil. Also, nitrogen is essential. The scientists are still working on the ways and establishments that are needed to be done so that farming can be easily done with the presence of Martian soil.
