NOLI, <\/strong>ITALY <\/p>\n\n

Noli is a tiny village on the Ligurian coast of Italy. Just 40 metres from the shore of this historic town, hidden beneath the surface, is a farm with its eye firmly on the future. <\/p>\n\n

Nemo\u2019s Garden is a project that aims to create a new type of farming that is sustainable and eco-friendly. <\/p>\n\n

This comes in the form of six underwater plastic pods, also known as \u2018biospheres\u2019, which are the world\u2019s first underwater greenhouses. <\/p>\n\n

Inside these pods, the temperature, humidity and light levels are closely monitored to ensure optimal conditions for plant growth. <\/p>\n\n

Pharmaceutical biologist, Professor Pistelli, analyses the phytochemistry of the plants grown inside the biospheres<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Plus, early studies suggest that the increased pressure inside the biospheres speeds up germination. Since the entire pod is self-contained, there\u2019s no need for pesticides. <\/p>\n\n

The plants are provided with desalinated seawater. <\/p>\n\n

Plus, any water that evaporates condenses on the walls of the biosphere, thanks to the temperature difference between the air and the seawater outside, and is then returned to the system. <\/p>\n\n
