‘Floating Farms’ explores an innovative solution to food security and climate change: moving agriculture onto water. This book examines the potential of floating farms to combat land scarcity, rising sea levels, and increasing global food demand. It highlights the engineering and technological aspects of constructing stable floating platforms, including integrating renewable energy and hydroponics. One intriguing fact is the possibility of cultivating salt-tolerant crops, expanding agricultural options. The book progresses from introducing core concepts to delving into the technical design of floating farms, including case studies and pilot projects. It looks at the socio-economic impacts of adopting floating agriculture, particularly for vulnerable coastal communities. The book argues that floating agricultural systems offer a practical solution, addressing regulatory hurdles and economic feasibility. A key strength is its comprehensive approach, blending technical details with socio-economic considerations to guide the implementation of sustainable agricultural technology.
