THE WHITE GOLD - THE MAJESTIC QUARRIES OF NORTHERN ITALY, Drone Footage

Beautiful, bizarre and severe. This is the incredible exchange between human and nature attested by the Apuan Alps marble quarries in Italy,  the 'origin' of some of the most important human operas, from Michelangelo's David until the Mecca and Medina Mosque.

Professor Ruth is checking the harvesting quality of the Algae bioreactor at the Algae park at Wageningen University. The university is working on a fifteen year-roadmap project (2010-2025) that aims to develop a commercial and sustainable production chain for food, feed, chemicals, materials and fuels from microalgae. #agriculture #hunger #netherlands #sustainable #algae #future #futurology #technology #energy #greenhouse #globalwarming #hunger #light #netherlands #organic #vegetables
Flying over the port the Maasvlakte 2 an entire area of the port of Rotterdam where approximately 2000 hectares will be reclaimed from the sea. It's a major civil engineering project in the Netherlands, constructing a new port and supporting infrastructure on reclaimed land adjoining the Maasvlakte. It will be used by ports related industries as an extension of the Port. The port is the biggest in Europe and the second largest export port in the world when it comes to vegetables, fruit, and flowers.
This futuristic state of the art facility in the Netherlands is where 150,000 eggs hatch every month. Produce chicken meat on a massive scale, in the healthiest way, is the aim of this kind of fully automated warehouse for poultry production. 'This tiny country feeds the world' is a story produced for @natgeo magazine and published in the September issue. #chicken #poultry #technology #hunger #meat #netherlands #future #futurology
Flying over the Westland, The Netherlands, during a classic foggy-rainy day. This area is the most advanced in the world for agro-farming technology where crops grow around the clock and in every kind of weather. The futuristic Dutch farmers of the Westland believe that we need to grow more with less and in a healthy environment to solve the famine which will afflict our planet in the next decades. Those greenhouses inside have the perfect environment to optimized the crops growing. Fully automated on climate, water and without using chemicals. Hot weather is ideal for traditional farming, but it could be a real enemy for this agro-farming systems. Many countries around the world including China, Indonesia, USA, Pakistan, north European countries among others are investing in this king of agro-farming technology to grow vegetables.

Here we are at Koppert Kress greenhouse the largest world wide company producing micro vegetables. LED lights casts a red glow on leafs and workers. The range in taste from onions to oysters of those leafs that I tasted was incredible. Top chefs around the world love this company. #hunger
This young man, Paul, is a Dutch modern city farmer working at Urban Farmer greenhouse built on the rooftop of a former Philips factory in the Hague, The Netherlands.

Wageningen University in the Netherlands is the most important agricultural university in the world and the epicenter of the agricultural innovation in Holland. Here is the Lumen building, one of the urban green design buildings which are part of the campus. How the future of sustainable farming could look like ? How the world is going to front the hunger crisis in the next decades ? Those questions brought me for @natgeo in the Netherlands to document this small country that has become an agricultural giant and it propose the most advanced high tech agro farming solutions to grow more with less.

Photo @lucalocatelliphoto The traditional landscape of Holland can be seen here, classical polders (reclaimed land) is a unique landmark of this country. Almost half of the country’s land has been reclaimed from the sea. The skill in handling water is one of the reason the Netherlands has become an agricultural giant and it propose the most advanced high tech agro farming solutions to grow more with less.
