In 2001 space odessy they had that big wheel shaped craft. When it's spinning, the centrifugal force could simulate gravity, and if it's super huge you could cram it full to the top with plants and they would create oxygen, then you just recycle and treat the H2O for the plants which of course would also....feed you

I forget the name of it, but in Arizona there was an elaborate experiment to see if people could live in an enclosed structure with plants producing all the oxygen and food they need. I believe the experiment continued for a year or two, but had to ended to because the neccessary conditions for life could not be maintained.
I found an article about the expermient and how it is being up dated to deal with our survival on earth and the effects of global warming.
