Beladon, a Dutch property development company, is creating the world's first-ever floating dairy farm in Rotterdam's Merwehaven harbour. Beladon is known for their floating buildings, designed to connect people to the environment without affecting the landscape around them. The project will be built on reclaimed land and has been designed to withstand high tides as well as strong winds. Beladon has designed the farm to minimise its use of space, water, transport, nutrients and energy, and it will reuse and recycle as much as it can as part of its contribution to a circular food stategy.
