Fruit and veg paradise Iceland - Using volcanic energy in farming | DW Documentary
Not far from the Arctic Circle, Iceland has a harsh climate. Nonetheless, almost every type of vegetable now grows here. How is the country becoming a vegetable paradise? The answer is found underground: Iceland uses volcanic energy to heat greenhouses. Tómas Ponzi grows tomatoes that are every bit as good as those from Italy. Outside, the temperature is just 12 degrees Celsius, but inside his greenhouse it is a pleasant 20 degrees — ideal conditions for this nightshade plant.
