    Default Nemo’s Garden takes terrestrial farming to new depths

    https://www.newscientist.com/article...to-new-depths/

    THIS otherworldly, underwater environment is more than just a cool diving spot. It is a sunken farm for terrestrial plants. Called Nemo’s Garden, it is located in the sea off Noli on the Italian Riviera and was created to explore the possibilities of novel agriculture.

    The “garden” is a research project run by diving equipment company Ocean Reef Group. It is developing mostly hydroponic techniques, which don’t require soil, for growing plants in six large underwater domes. These floating biospheres are largely self-sustaining systems that each hold about 2000 litres of air. They are secured at between 5 and 10 metres below the surface.
