    This document discusses an experiment growing plants on Mars soil. [1] The experiment was conducted at Wageningen University in the Netherlands using soil that simulated the chemical composition of Mars but was not actually from Mars. [2] Several plant species were grown, with Arabidopsis thaliana growing the best. [3] The research is part of a larger project aiming to develop techniques for sustainable food production on Mars to support future human colonization.
