EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking color satellite image captures the vast expanse of intensive farming in Almeria, Spain in 2022. The landscape is dominated by a sea of greenhouses, creating what has been dubbed the "plastic sea" due to the sheer number of structures covering the land.
From high above, we can see row upon row of these greenhouses stretching out as far as the eye can see. The precision and uniformity of their layout is both impressive and somewhat overwhelming, highlighting the scale and intensity of modern agricultural practices in this region.
The contrast between the vibrant green hues of the crops inside the greenhouses and the arid brown earth surrounding them is stark, illustrating how human intervention has transformed this once barren landscape into a thriving hub of agricultural activity.
Despite its visual impact, this image also raises questions about sustainability and environmental impact. While intensive farming techniques have allowed for increased productivity and efficiency, they also come with potential consequences for biodiversity, water usage, and soil health.
Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of our complex relationship with nature and how our choices as consumers and producers shape the world around us.
