Question by Sutaato: Artificial islands?
For example, could someone grow a crop of corn (just using corn as ana example) on an artificial island? I’ve seen those artificial islands in Dubai (The Palms they’re called I think). They have sandy beaches the house have grass lawns and sometimes some trees and shrubs. So would it be possible to grow a large amount of vegetables on an artificial island? Also how big can an artificial island be? Is there like a limit on how big they can be or not? Please post. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Italian Chef
Yes. Consider that they are hauling thousands of tons of earth from various locations to form the islands. Some of that has to retain minerals. As for the size limit, it can only be as big as the amount of earth that you move to the location, and how deep the ocean at said location is.
