GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet

Could someone please tell me where the "Hydroponics Bay" habitat came from? I checked all the Spaceships books, the optional rules and all the connected Pyramid editions I have, and the few times the word 'hydroponics' came up was in indirect references. I even searched the forum for references, but I didn't see any Habitat definition. What is the source of the "4 person production,1 staff" per cabin formula? And why doesn't it reduce the demand for food (by subtracting the production from the life support requirements)?

Dalton “and shouldn't the same go for open spaces?” Spence

EDIT: And why could I add it to my ERV but not my Mars Lander?
