VIDEO: A NEW FORM OF AGRICULTURE – BUT IN THE OCEAN?

Growing fruit and vegetables take loads of dedication and need to be protected against all kind of insects and damages caused by impacts from Mother Nature. 

Italian scuba-diving father and son have found a way to grow fresh food nearly 10 meters underwater – in the sea – off the coast of Northern Italy. Their underwater biospheres, which they have humorously called Nemo's Garden, are low-cost and low-energy and could be part of a solution to feed a growing population using areas that were previously inconceivable as arable. 

The biospheres are like giant bubbles, sunk below the water and filled with air. Plenty of sunlight filters through the water, providing UV for photosynthesis. Evaporating seawater condenses on the inner walls of the biosphere and produces high-humidity within the bubbles, which seems like plant paradise. 

Have a look at the video below to see the full story behind Nemo's garden and what the future of agriculture could look like. It's quite incredible.
