Sustainable farming in the desert

Sustainable farming in the desert

Can you grow 17,000 metric tons of vegetables in the desert? Using just sunlight and seawater?

Yes you can. This new farm in Australia uses renewable energy to power its desalination plant.

That’s not all though. They use predatory insects for pest control, rather than rely on pesticides.
