Food Phreaking is where food, technology and open culture meet. Each issue of the journal contains stories about experiments, exploits and explorations of human food systems. Our previous issue, Food Phreaking Issue 04, was all about SEEDS.
In Food Phreaking Issue 4 ½ we zoom in on SPACE SEEDS: the seeds of edible plant varieties that have been cultivated for—or traveled to—outer space. SPACE SEEDS focuses on the peculiar botanical space travelers that have been bred, nourished, grown, eaten, and in some cases even brought back to Earth to repopulate our soils.
