A BBC report on farming innovations in Iceland.
Farmland in Iceland is limited, but the country has an abundance of heat, water and clean electricity. Tech Now's Adrienne Murray finds out how innovations in food production are using this unique location to their advantage, including an underground strawberry farm, and an aquaculture facility cultivating microalgae.
Iceland has to import a lot of food, so is looking to grow what it can. A surprisingly high percentage of the food eaten in Iceland is grown in the country, including most of the salads that you might find on your hotel breakfast buffet.
