Aus farm grows tomatoes in desert using solar energy
A farm in the South Australian desert is reportedly expected to produce over 15,000 tonnes of tomatoes per year using only solar energy and seawater. Greenhouse developer Sundrop Farms developed the $150 million farm, where nearby seawater is desalinated and used in the irrigation. Reportedly, the project was started in 2010 and scientists have been fine-tuning the design since then.
