In the latest research, scientists successfully grew chickpeas for the first time in lunar soil, known as regolith.
The scientists said the development marked a significant step towards understanding how humans might live on the Moon in the future.
NASA and other space agencies remain hopeful that humans will land on the Moon and live there in the coming years. However, the idea continues to raise several questions, one of which concerns the difficulty of producing food. The harsh environment and uneven soil on the lunar surface remain among the principal challenges.
According to scientists, the new research indicates that it may be possible for humans living on the Moon to grow crops for food.
