Nemo’s Garden, a startup focused on sustainable underwater cultivation of crops, is an underwater greenhouse, more than 15 feet below the surface, located near the village of Noli in Italy’s Liguria region, along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Six large clear domes, biospheres, which are anchored to the bottom of the sea by ropes, chains and weights screws, use the ocean’s environmental qualities such as temperature stability, CO2 absorption, and natural pest control to grow food, including salad greens, beans and strawberries. The team has determined that the plants produced in this environment were reportedly richer in nutritional content than those grown using traditional methods, reported an article by Interesting Engineering.
