solarpunk-aesthetic:3D Ocean FarmingA polyculture farming system, growing undersea crops and rearing shellfish, which uses the full depth of the water column. This is currently the most sustainable means of farming in the world, requiring little work or input. The sea plants also effectively filter the water, sequester carbon, help rebuild damaged undersea ecosystems, and improve biodiversity.“We have to tell a story, a helpful story about the future. You know, it’s all bad news about climate change and food security. I think out here we can say our oceans are a blank slate and we really have a chance to really build something new, and build something from the bottom up that’s sustainable and restorative and doesn’t make all the mistakes of industrial agriculture or aquaculture.”– Bren Smith, Ocean Farmer -- source link
