This alien-looking structure is part of an installation in the waters off the Italian village of Noli that’s testing how plants grow in undersea greenhouses. To conserve water and energy, Nemo’s Garden is experimenting with growing plants in underwater “biospheres.” The project is a possible solution for coastline countries, where hot temperatures makes it difficult for tradition agriculture and the sea could be an unexplored solution. The project was born in 2012 from the will of Sergio Gamberini who wanted to create the ideal growing conditions for basil, a local herb, essential for the preparation of pesto. Look inside Nemo’s Garden, a surreal underwater farm, is now online on the National Geographic website (link in bio) on the environment section with text by @mgreshko and selection of images by @jamesbwellford This story is part of an immersive exhibition created for the @gallerieditalia Museum of Photography Gallerie d'Italia Torino in partnership with the @ellenmacarthurfoundation Follow me @lucalocatelliphoto to know more about the project. Special thanks to @jamesbwellford National Geographic and @antonio_carloni_ Sergio Gamberini and his son Luca @nemos_garden_official @emilio.mancuso.1979 project manager and all the wonderful people in Noli. @leica_camera #solutions #ocean #future #oceansolutions #environment #future #innovation #circulareconomy #circularity
It is a real honor to see this photo of mine in @natgeo 's special collection '100 Best Photos - Iconic Images from this Century' As photographers we sometimes unknowingly create images capable of having a life of its own that continues to surprise us over time. - Image caption: Flying over the Westland in the Netherlands, the most advanced area in the world for agro farming technology. Furrows of artificial light lend an otherworldly aura to the greenhouse. Climate-controlled farms such as these grow crops around the clock and in every kind of weather. #solutions #environment #future
Dopo il nucleare la torre di raffreddamento di un impianto mai entrato in funzione è diventata una giostra di un parco dei divertimenti. Kalkar (Germania).

A first glimpse from a 2+ year journey to document the most promising circular solutions in Europe. Here we are inside a former salt mine, where people once dug and now we can envision the future. This is part of a long form project that will lead me to the first immersive exhibition dedicated to circularity created with the support of the Museum of Photography Gallerie d'Italia Torino @gallerieditalia @antoniocarloni - Intesa San Paolo and in partnership with the Ellen McArthur Foundation, curated by Elisa Medde Land is a finite resource. Brownfield reclamation and regeneration represent a solution, not only to prevent the loss of pristine countryside, but also to enhance urban spaces and reclaim sometimes contaminated land. Salina Turda is one of the most spectacular examples of how places can be transformed. Located in Turda in the Durgău-Valea Sărată area, covers an area of about 45 km2 with an average salt thickness of about 400 m and it has a 112 m depth. The mine construction could be dated as early as 1075 and it was still running up to 1932. Today is an hidden gem and a tourist destination, packed with attractions such as rowboats and a Ferris wheel. @gallerieditalia @ellenmacarthurfoundation @elsmdd @antoniocarloni #solutions #environment #future #futurestudieslab #saltmine
outtakes from the last shooting for @lamborghini among the most sustainable companies in Italy. On the occasion of Earth Day, Automobili Lamborghini receives the Green Star award in 2021. The award is given annually by the German Institute for Quality and Finance (ITQF) in collaboration with the Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF) of Hamburg, which carry out complex and detailed online research to determine the companies that are most committed to green economy strategies, with the specific intent of minimizing industrial impact in full respect for the environment and society. #environment #future #solutions #technology
"Interpret as you want and let us know what you need to create your own vision" This was more or less BMW's brief for shooting a campaign for their new EV vehicles. A tough test, but a great opportunity. I've been thinking a lot and then I’ve decided to overlay environmental landscape images from my archive with the shooting I did to the new BMW's EV series. An attempt to visually evoke the symbiosis we are seeking between technological progress and the environment. Here are 2 of the 4 images I’ve created.

Walking down the road from my studio in a foggy day looking up the top of the vertical forest. This is one of the iconic architectures in my city that in recent years contributed to inspire an important ecological transition - the promise is 3 million trees by 2030. The program is called 'Forestami' conducted by the Polytechnic of Milan, wants to achieve the identification of potential areas for planting, a census of existing green systems, mapping of critical areas for urban heat and for a strategic vision on the role of urban green in the metropolitan area. Make you proud to hear this plan is about your city. From Grey to Green, let’s do it Milan! #solutions #environment #future #milan #italy #cityscape #verticalforest #forest #climatechange #futurestudies #takenwithhuawei
Flying over the Battersea Power Station in London during its reconversion. One of the most iconic decommissioned coal-fired power station, it has a new purpose. I hope there’ll be soon a day where coal will not be part of the present. The production of energy through coal operations is accounting for most of the C02 in the atmosphere, causing climate change. #environment #solutions #future #climatechange #climatesolutions #battersea #london #helicopter
Photo @lucalocatelliphoto - my latest story for @natgeo at @esrf_synchrotron Grenoble in France. An incredible new scanning technique delivers exquisitely detailed images—and could revolutionize the study of human anatomy. World’s brightest x-rays reveal COVID-19’s damage to the body.

This technological jungle of tomatoes is capable of producing much more with less environmental impact. It is a new nature capable of producing tomatoes in territories where they would otherwise have to be imported. It is a solution to reduce the impact that agricultural production has on the environment, which is responsible for 25-30% of climate change. Do we like it? #solutions #environment #future #technology #nature
An aerial view of the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, in Tucson, Arizona. It is the largest boneyard in the world handling nearly 3,300 aircraft. The process of optimizing the life cycle of such machines is a circular economy leading example in the heavy-industry sector. Precious parts are dismantled and reused in the Air Force fleet, and entire aircraft can be reassembled and put back into service. At the end of the life cycle, they can be scrapped for steel and aluminum recycling - Shot for @natgeo while working on ‘The End of Trash’ - Circular Economy Solutions. #metal #airplane #environment #solutions
