Episode Description:
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana travel (virtually) to Chile’s Atacama Desert—the driest place on Earth—to explore how farmers are growing lettuce, lemons, and more without a single drop of rain. Using massive mesh fog catchers, communities are harvesting water straight from the air, collecting over 1,000 liters per day to power hydroponic farms. Jordan and Lana discuss this incredible blend of tradition, innovation, and resilience, and how it could reshape agriculture in water-scarce regions around the world.
