Underwater Crop Farming
UK Innovation - Floating Deep Farms Source: Floating Farms - World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies Marine Agriculture This innovative concept comes from the UK. It's called Floating Deep Farms which consists of large, vertical containers loaded with plants and submerged in water off of coastal areas. It's the brainchild of engineers and researchers at Nottingham University. They believe in this time of rising sea levels, Floating Deep Farms would increase food production as the ocean encroaches on land. Source: University of Nottingham Floating Deep Farm Food Crisis Globally, new means of food production are desperately needed. Food production levels need to increase 70% by 2050 to meet global demand. This new sustainable agri-tech concept is notable for its creativity and engineering. Hydroponics and Aeroponics The containers would support a variety of crops year-round, either through hydroponics or aeroponics. Specialized...
