Run by the Kibo-ABC initiative of APRSAF (Asia-Pacific space agencies including JAXA) under 'Space Seeds for Asian Future'. In 'How to Grow', participants choose an environment (ISS microgravity, Moon or Mars), propose plants, growing methods and conditions, and verify feasibility with a ground experiment. Space agencies and experts review the proposals; two top ideas per division are recommended to JAXA and presented in English at the results meeting, and recommended themes may become candidates for future space experiments.
