3D-printed cookie for space travel made with yeast

Original: Researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale have developed a 3D-printed cookie for space travel, using yeast

Researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale have developed a 3D-printed cookie designed for space travel. The process uses yeast to convert plastic and agricultural waste into an edible, protein-rich food, offering a possible way to feed astronauts on long missions while recycling waste. The project is being shared as an example of sustainable food innovation, drawing attention for combining 3D printing, waste reuse and nutrition in one product.

Why now: The unusual combination of 3D printing, waste recycling and astronaut food makes it a striking sustainability and space story
