太空农业是随着科技的进步和社会生产力的发展,为满足人类生存与发展的需要,继地球农业、海洋农业之后而开辟的一个崭新的农业领域。太空农业刚刚诞生,基本上还处在试验阶段,人们对它的了解还十分有限,甚至还很生疏。因此,我们从谭放、柳永兰编著的《太空农业》一书中摘取部分内容分期刊出,以飨读者。 Space agriculture is a brand-new agricultural field opened up with the progress of science and technology and the development of social productive forces in order to meet the needs of human existence and development, following the earth agriculture and marine agriculture. Space agriculture has just been born, basically still in the experimental stage, people are still very limited understanding of it, and even strange. Therefore, we extract some of the contents from the book “Space Agriculture” edited by Tan Fang and Liu Yonglan in installments to readers.
