Growing very large veggies in large lunar craters under glass ought to a solid N.A.S.A. farming project. Getting ice from comets for watering should be part of the research. N.A.S.A. should be a leader at growing two foot in diameter potatoes in lunar regolith (dirt) so future astronauts can super size fresh fries...seriously.
That's the sort of project private enterprise budgets won't fund. Growing food on the moon to feed future space travelers around the solar system is a good idea though. If it was very productive some product could be downloaded to a hungry Earth population being desertified with global warming from SUVs.
