How mattresses can solve hunger

Syrian refugees from the Zaatari camp in Jordan and scientists from Sheffield University are working together to find a way to grow fresh and healthy food with nothing but water and old mattress foam.

These "recycled gardens" use mattresses instead of dirt, which solves two problems in one: they reuse the mountain of plastic mattresses that have been stacked in the warehouse and allow everyone to grow fresh food in a desert and crowded environment.

Victoria Gill went to the Jordan camp to see how it works.
