Where lies the future of our stomach?

Let me ask you a question, Where lies the future of your stomach?

Hope you might wonder what a nonsense question it is. Here is a fact which may challenge your appetite,

The floating farm has three levels.

The top level is installed with photovoltaic panels to harvest sunlight for electricity and it has rainwater collectors for irrigation purposes.

The second level serves as a greenhouse for the vegetables, which are grown without soil under the hydroponic system; and

The ground level is used as a fish farm on the open sea, as well as a fish egg hatchery, a slaughterhouse and a storage room for the fish.

All the modules are centrally controlled by software via Cloud technology. The production data will be analyzed and can be used to make comparisons on food needs for specific cities. Each SFF is estimated to have a maximum production of 8.152 tons of vegetables and 1.703 tons of fish per year. The floating farms are ideal for densely populated cities near coastal areas such as Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

This disruption (Floating Farms) in agriculture enables new dimensions for food safety. Each city can cease the rate of food imports by cultivating in available water surface (mainly sea) leads to sustainability in food production. This helps to have more transparency on what we eat, watch our food grow locally and served directly on our tables, connect people with food production! Even food production can be controlled by Iot devices and cloud infrastructure aided with data analytics based on demand, like ‘hey this month we want more wheat than corn!’
