Imagine humans were trying to build a new ecology in a dome let's just say it is on Mars. Sustainability would no longer be a hope, but a mandate, correct? Giv

Given the complexity (and constantly changing aspects) of natural ecosystems, do you think we have the capacity to build a sustainable human-crafted ecology that produces agriculture (perhaps aquaculture) that produces enough excess to sustain human life? If you don't mind sharing what you think this might look like, I'm quite curious. Thank you for the insightful comment.
- harpiaharpyja 10y agoWhile I am not terribly knowledgeable about it I think permaculture is probably a search term you might be looking for. From what I have read, there have been some successful attempts to develop ecosystems that can sustainability produce food with minimal human intervention. Though I don't think that has been done at scale yet.
