Our Missions

Our goal is to re-imagine plant design and bioresource production, through the lens of space. Through our four missions we pave the way for off-Earth habitation while delivering innovative solutions that enhance sustainability on Earth.

Complete nutrition plant-based foods

Zero-waste plants optimised for controlled environments

On-demand bioresource production

Future-ready workforce and society

Who we are

The ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space is an international research consortium building novel solutions for long term space habitation and on-Earth sustainability. Our diverse team brings together a wide range of researchers in disciplines across plant science, nutrition, food science, engineering, psychology and space law.
