Konnichiwa Mr Jansen I have picked up this transmission via our deep space array. I would suggest Hydroponics for you food growth. The BioDomes like the ones on our Goddess Class Heavy Research Vessels do have some problems. Thou they withstand a great deal of punishment in open space along with the minor altercations that pop up and Meteor bombardment they do develop cracking and need repairs often. That cause us to put in Renzu station offten to let Zoner ship wrights make repairs.
Hydroponics requires less space and resources to produce same amount of food and can be done in the safety of the hull of a ship or any place that you want to place it. This is something you may want to consider if you plan on growing food in space. The primary function of the biodomes on the Shizuha is supplement oxygen, CO2 scrubbing and a place for the crew and their families to enjoy on their off time.
We had conducted radiation studies on our domes and found that growing anything out side of vegetables was ok. But food production was better served in controlled hydroponic shielded from any radiation. In some systems we have found that the domes are need to be locked down due to the type of star found in a system. The trees seem to handle it but humans come down with radiation sickness thou mild it is still not a good practice to expose your crew to such dangers.
