Floating Farm Brings the Dairy Industry Off of Dry Land

In the Netherlands, Floating Farm is a working dairy that sits among the cranes at a Dutch shipping port. The high-tech farm employs robots to both milk the cows and to do the dirty work of cleaning up manure. By forgoing dry land for a floating farm, the company says their model could be ideal for countries experiencing flooding or drought. Floating Farm has been so successful, they’re expanding to a second farm to grow vegetables, using the cow manure as fertilizer.
