The presented project of a floating farm on solar energy

Modular floating farms, solar can easily provide long-term food security of humanity and the sustainability of agricultural industry. The farm will be fully automated, combining the advantages of solar energy and hydroponics. There will grow up predominantly of aquaculture.

According to the architects, their project is commercially viable. It is based on already existing and fairly well-tested building materials and technologies.

Floating farms will be placed in nearby large Metropolitan areas water bodies to reduce the cost of transportation of food and ensure the freshness of food.

Each lightweight module will be 350 meters long and 200 meters wide. He will be linked with other modules to form clusters associated with tracks. The SFF module includes three main levels: a lower level for the aquaculture and placement of water desalination systems; the second level for growing traditional crops using hydroponics; and the third level is covered with solar panels, lighting panels and elements of the system of collecting rainwater. It is expected that each module will be able to produce 8152 tons of vegetables and 1703 tons of fish per year.published
