Who said fish can’t thrive in the desert? 🌵 In a jaw-dropping twist, Turpan—a city in China’s arid northwest—is turning the Gobi Desert into a hub for sustainable aquaculture! But how?
Using cutting-edge tech like solar-powered water circulation systems and geothermal energy, Turpan’s farmers are growing tilapia, shrimp, and even lobster in the middle of nowhere. 💡 Think of it as a real-life Minecraft project: they’ve cracked the code on recycling water (up to 90% reused!) and keeping temperatures stable despite scorching days and chilly nights.
Local experts say this isn’t just about fish—it’s a blueprint for food security in climate-vulnerable regions. Plus, it’s creating jobs and slashing carbon footprints. 🚀 Could this be the future of farming? Turpan’s proving that even the driest landscapes can flow with opportunity.
