The newest is research from the European Space Agency who have come out with a list on ten plants that will provide all the needed nutrition including vitamin B12 as is in meat.
The list has been compiled by a group of Chef's that made as many dishes as possible. Scientists stood by taking notes and evaluating the requirements of a daily diet. Below are some of the ten below.

The list is as follows

Soy bean

It is obvious that Duncan Vincent at QuickGrow South Indoor Garden Center is an expert in his field. A choice of hydroponics gardening or eroponic gardening seems a no brainer as Duncan tells our group that eroponics are the obvious choice. Duncin continues with explaining that their company provided eroponic equipment for the movie "Mission to Mars" some years ago.
Duncan Vincent of Quickgrow South who did a presentation on how a wetland biosphere can be built to provide the plant life and water storage that will be essential to the life support system on a moon habitat.
Our specialist has many years’ experience in the creation of airoponics and hydroponics gardening.
Exhaust fans, timers, water monitoring equipment, types of lighting, growing media such as rock wall, nutrients for healthy plant growth, and many other tips and hints were part of his in depth presentation.
