Farming in Iceland with World record sheep-shearer, Marie Prebble: Pt 2 | Farmers Weekly

In Iceland, engineers are experimenting with fiber-optic daylighting systems that capture natural sunlight and redirect it into greenhouses. The technology channels light through fiber-optic cables, even when farms are built in rocky or volcanic terrain. Sunlight is collected above ground using tracking mirrors or concentrators, then transmitted through cables tunneled into volcanic rock. This allows crops to receive natural-spectrum light in locations where traditional greenhouse placement is d
