I was thinking I know we won't get to space in my lifetime as a whole county but for the future of our children, who will likely achieve our goals of independence from Earth, their bodies wouldn't take the stress of eating Earth food, e.i. Hamburgers and stuff to processed food from Agricultural farms up there, if we could start to develop plans to make that food available now we could alter our diet to a more course mix of fruits grains, nuts and a lil meat so our bodies can adapt to that and our DNA for that will carry over. Make it easier for them to thrive. But this is all food for thought* I'm not a scientist or anything like that. Just a concerned Asgardian.
Hello !
We must think about the essential elements:
lipids
proteins
carbohydrates
Algae must be the best idea, and in parallel, consume CO2 products oxygen
A studies exist in pumed about that : ...

A studies exist in pumed about that :

And Nasa think about a system in microgravity too :

I was thinking we could just grow crops in specialised environments. A NASA found that growing wheat in a high-light, high-CO2 environment yielded three to four times more wheat than in regular atmosphere:

As for meat, by the time we've built our first space station, lab-grown meat will be a thing, so there'll be no need to slaughter animals for protein (we might keep some around for dairy/eggs/DNA harvesting). We could potentially do the same thing with fish, if the technology has advanced enough:

Genetically modified algae would be a good idea it grows quickly an can be used as a co2 scrubber
