NAPLES, ITALY - Solutions to the biggest threats facing our planet lie underground, according to experts who insist that climate change, overpopulation and food shortages can all be tackled by going subterranean.
"We don't seem to realise that we're losing a lot of arable land at an alarming rate each year , where we should be increasing it to feed the growing world population,"said Mr Admiraal. Micro greens - tiny seedlings of plants such as fennel, radish or coriander usually harvested when they are full size - are already being grown underground, as is lettuce, Mr Admiraal said.
"Cities where the population growth is very strong, and which are struggling with resources, with the impact on their natural habitat...are looking at innovative ways to expand," she said. Trees planted in new green areas will do their bit to help rein in climate change, as well as help prevent soil degradation.
