guys this is not an aquarium this is the
world's first and only underwater farm
where they grow plants like this this
and this for people to eat
[Music]
the question is how do plants that live
underwater
taste like
in italy i introduce you to fridico i'm
a daily i'm federico and we have the
world first and only underwater farm
welcome to nemo's garden to grow food
you need land that's why as our
population grows we will need more land
to grow more food and now that we're
billions we don't have enough land to
grow the food
so fridko and his team thought if
there's no space on land why don't we
grow food underwater the owner of the
company sergio gamberini started to do
it as a joke but when he started doing
it he realized it actually worked turns
out it's actually doable
first they created huge transparent
bubbles they put them 20 feet below the
sea and anchored them to the sea floor
with chains
and finally they brought in the pot of
plant and grew them like you would on
land
we also monitor plants 24 hours a day
with automatic system and our sensor
connector to a control tower
growing plants underwater might just be
better than on land here you don't need
chemicals to kill pests because well
there are no pests the temperature is
always the same and you don't even need
to water the plants why
because of the difference in temperature
inside and outside the biosphere the
salty sea water condenses and turns into
fresh water droplets that's why we have
an unlimited source of fresh water in
the biosphere welcome to
[Music]
this system is self-sustainable it's
eco-friendly and according to the team
the plants grow faster stronger and with
higher nutrients than on land we have
tested more than 100 plants and all of
them grow very well so what you're
looking at now is herbs beans
strawberries even tobacco that was grown
underwater it's like going into space
it's tough but exciting
[Applause]
to be clear this is still a lot more
expensive than farming on land but they
are working hard to build more farms
under water frideku's work isn't just
about growing food it's about building a
world where we live in harmony with
nature both above
and below water
[Music]
