Floating Farms in Rotterdam: Cows on Water for a Resilient Future

荷兰鹿特丹漂浮农场:城市农业应对海平面上升

B2时文288 词约 2 分钟

In the port city of Rotterdam, a surprising sight greets visitors: a herd of cows grazing on a floating platform. This is no Futurist fantasy but a working dairy farm that sits on water, responding to both rising sea levels and the growing demand for urban food production. As climate change makes land scarcer and cities denser, farmers and architects are turning to the water for creative solutions.

The floating farm is a three-story structure built on concrete pontoons. Cows live on the top deck, milked by robots and fed with grass grown on lower levels and even on nearby land. Rainwater is collected, solar panels generate electricity, and cow manure is processed into fertilizer. This circular system cuts waste and brings fresh milk directly to city residents just a few kilometers away.
