The Herb Garden Grown in an Undersea Pot
The Herb Garden Grown in an Undersea Pot
Beneath the glistening blue waves of the Bay of Noli in the Italian Riviera are biospheres bursting with basil, tomatoes, herbs and other plants. It’s all a part of a science experiment known as Nemo’s Garden. While growing plants underwater might seem strange, it turns out there are a lot of advantages—protection from pests and extreme weather, a regulated temperature and access to fresh water as seawater evaporates and re-condenses. Co-creator of the project Luca Gamberini hopes that one day Nemo’s Garden will revolutionize the future of farming and inspire others to grow crops in places they never thought possible.

can i ask why they didn’t take the opportunity to name the company “leaf reefs”
They growing sea weed
The thumbnail made me thirsty n i had to have a glass of water. Dont forget to drink water yall.
omg
Subnautica real life
I really don’t see the point of this. Seems like a fun and expensive hobby to me, more than anything. I am a scientist and environmentalist, and I’m not convinced that there are any real benefits to this.
It seems like a good idea but it’s really not this is just another place to put a greenhouse wasting all that money and time to grow something simple that you could grow on the ground??
Really think about it!!
Simply superb
Sandy.. is that u ?
The future of farming is underwater.
NO. no it isn’t
🥰
now they just need a bigger dome and a tunnel to get there without the diving equipment, just walking, and then just getting wet only to your knees, but some rain boots and done.
Can we plant mushrooms underwater?
In my opinion, I think yes but we need different food for them.
If we can farm underwater, I think that we can also live underwater.
Sorry that my English is not good.
Wow i would love to work with them 😭♥️
thanks sir i will use it in scince project
o.o
What a waste!
s u b n a u t i c a
Where’s Dory? Duuuuude.
How do the plants get enough carbon dioxide? Why not grow actual edible sea veggies like seaweed and kelp? The only use I can see this for is if we need to start colonizing the sea and live in underwater domes. Then they’ll look back at this experiment and say we have the data to grow under the sea.
I think these guys are onto something here.
Pablo escobar would be so hyped on this for his coca plants
What a stupid idea.
Why are we not yet living in the ocean ? It’s already crowded in the lands…
Mom: Go get me some curry leaves from the farm.
Son: wears a scuba gear.
This is probably ridiculously expensive.
Smh, so many naive, and narrow minded plains walkers. The idea is highly viable, but not in the way you want it to be. This dome can be done across so many places on this planet, there are numerous islands that need this sort of agricultural adaptation to become habitable, you say it’s a problem because of storms, or if done at a larger scale it would ruin the ecosystems. LOL YOU MAKE ME LAUGH, AND THE JOKER AWARD GOES TO THE CLOWNS OF BIAS AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT. Maybe focus on decreasing the amount of land we use for mass produce, only for a lot of the produce to go to waste because you’re all busy trying to make profit from it. Remember, that Agricultural Land you’re so proud of, has destroyed entire ecosystems and habitats just to make the land viable for the plants and crops you want, not to mention the animals farms and pastures that take thousands of dollars to maintain and operate. This feat of experimental engineering could be applied to rivers and the bright side is that it would be used on a Moderate Scale, the aim is to become more cost effective and INSPIRE OTHERS TO FIND NEW WAYS OF FARMING. This easily could be implemented on a Global Scale and boost the Economies of Third World, and still Developing countries, your lack of optimism and limited range of effect is appalling. Please, don’t ever shut down one idea over another, because whoever the idiot who invented plastic bags clearly just wanted to make a profit out of an already existing device and ended up poisoning this whole planet, Natural baskets existed long before Guns were invented – the fact that this world discovered places where the locals already implement Eco Friendly devices and still decided to push through with inventing plastic and plastic bags must’ve been greedy as hell, knowing that these exists> https://www.google.com/search?q=banig+bag&tbm=isch&chips=q:banig+bag,g_1:bayong:C9XbsKTrxhY%3D&rlz=1C1CHZL_enCA780CA780&hl=en&ved=2ahUKEwilqcCSgqPoAhUO3KwKHceiDT8Q4lYoAnoECAEQGQ&biw=1343&bih=657
This Underwater Farming is better for many ways, including the fact that when used in a moderate scale it will be more environmentally friendly, having a few of these as the size they are in the video growing crops for an entire town would boost their income, and decrease their spending effectively equalizing their financial standings, which is why as I mentioned using this for rivers to fit of course, as well as coastal deserts like those in the Sahara would make previously inhospitable places, habitable. Not to mention that people will be able to grow their food like a community garden where they can just pick without paying and can plant virtually almost any plant they desire. Vertical Farming is a good alternative to this too, and that’s just one example.
Copied from Spongebob squarepants 😀
Wouldn’t growing the plants in a large building with solar power be more efficient? This seems to take up more resources to complete.
This is just a more inconvenient and resource-intensive greenhouse. I cannot fathom why this would be considered a reasonable form of agriculture.
guys you can do it!
gives a whole new meaning to the word "hydroculture" lol
"Harvesting is actually very simple", it doesn’t look simple at all. You need to swim under water, harvest tiny amounts at a time, those underwater grow pods are separates from eachother… How are you ever going to harvest it efficiently if you want to grow large amounts?
For large scale, the logistics are impossible.
But the plants will run out of carbon dioxide
under surface things are awsome. Cool.
Had me at medical herbs.
This is like an Aquarium but for the fishes
If they make a rly big dome they can really do this but if its just small it not too practical
"How to waste natural resources and destroy the natural habitats of marine life"
FYI if u want to intensify the flavour and oil content of plants use Grow Lights running on Solar in shade net house or Greenhouse…
How about growing stuff in the trunk of you car—-wow, what a great idea!
by the year 2070
Amazing guys! I wish you all the best in pushing the boundaries of agriculture!
I"m very certain "SpaceX" and "NASA" would be very much interested in your studies for the mission to Mars : )
This is a great idea…one can produce alot of seeds which theoretically have "stronger" genes for soil growing…thus giving hope for future growing in today’s polluted environment
I remember Sandy from Spongebob doing something like this…. 👀
And some android farming game underwater too…
Doesn’t stack up economically and let’s have it right! It’s always about money at some point 🙁
wow amazing
This is pretty dumb not gonna lie. It’s really cool, bot really silly.
You started this project because we car overusing our planet’s resources, and you started to use how much resources to build these underwater green houses, scuba diving, and equipment? What is your profit margin? Don’t be ridiculous, this is just a perfect excuse for all the scuba diving, isn’t it?
One question tho: why is everyone models here I mean they’re all like wow
