Salad is good for you, generally speaking, so growing fresh greens in orbit seems like a winning way for space farers to stay healthy.

    Sounds like not a big problem at all. Seems like they’ll just have to use appropriate cleaning methods. Even in the worst case scenario they would probably just have to use food irradiation.

    EDIT

    In fact reading my own link i learned that they ALREADY irradiate food that astronauts eat
