How does a sustainable farm on water work? – Transfarmation with Floating Farm

As climate change progresses, the threat of severe weather events
like hurricanes and typhoons increases drastically. Such
occurrences are not only extremely dangerous in the moment but can
also cut off entire cities from global food supply chains. As many
towns run out of fresh food in only a matter of days – which is
often not enough time to rebuild severely damaged infrastructure
like roads and railways tracks – relying on trains and trucks to
bring in food can make the situation even more dangerous. This
stresses how crucial local and short food supply chains are to be
able to cater to a population in times of need. And this is exactly
the reason why the Floating Farm in Rotterdam was established. In
this episode, Janine talks to Peter van Wingerden, founder of the
Floating Farm, about how we need to find solutions to better adapt
to climate changes and how building farms on water can be one of
these solutions.
