Seafloor Farming explores the potential of underwater agriculture to address the global food crisis, offering a comprehensive look at cultivating crops beneath the waves. This emerging field combines marine biology, environmental science, and agricultural technology to revolutionize food production amidst climate change and land scarcity. Salt-tolerant plants, known as halophytes, play a crucial role, showcasing nature’s ability to adapt to harsh environments.
The book highlights how traditional agriculture contributes to deforestation and soil degradation, contrasting it with seafloor farming’s potential to utilize ocean resources sustainably.
The book progresses by first establishing the core concepts of underwater agriculture, then examining practical cultivation techniques and economic factors through case studies. Finally, it addresses the broader implications, including impacts on global food markets, climate change mitigation, and ethical considerations.
By adopting a holistic perspective, Seafloor Farming integrates scientific, economic, and social considerations, making it a valuable resource for understanding this innovative approach to food security.
