The company, Local Roots Farms, has joined forces with Space X, a company thats trying to get people to Mars.

A company in California says it could be the first to grow food on Mars.

Local Roots Farms has developed an indoor farm that could feed astronauts on longer-term space missions.

They say their technology will also benefit the earth as it uses less water than traditional farming techniques.
