The project, called Nemo’s Garden, uses translucent biospheres that are anchored to the sea floor. The balloon-shaped structures are filled with air before being installed with shelves, cameras and sensors. The shelves are used to grow crops like strawberries and basil. The crops are grown either in soil or through hydroponics.
While some might think the idea is ludicrous, the underwater environment actually helps make for better crops. The temperature underwater remains at 78 degrees with humidity levels at 83 percent. What is more, the shape of this underwater greenhouse causes condensation to develop on the roof which then drips down and waters the plants. High levels of carbon dioxide are also created and acts as fertilizer to the cops, making them grow rapidly.
The cameras installed in Nemo’s Garden are used to stream live video so people can watch these divers cum farmers tend to their crops. The sensors collect data (like humidity levels) that are also closely monitored.
