Abstract
A permanent lunar base will require an operating agricultural facility that provides food and a recycling capability. That agricultural facility, regardless of its structural properties, will need to be supplied with plant material to maintain its operations. Additional plant material will be needed for base air cleaning and out gas control. Methods by which these plant materials are supplied are addressed. Additionally, the specific requirements for and inherent problems in each method are discussed.
