RE: Solar Powered Floating Farm Could Provide 9855 Tons Of Food Per Year
I doubt we’ll see this ever in production. The cost to create and maintain a system like this would be astronoical. I’m sure it will also have a negative impact on the aquatic life around it. It will also need to be located in an ocean that is generally calm. The waves and rocking will no doubt affect what can be grown here.
It will be less expensive to build on water soon enough though right? The land costs are outrageous as well.
No, too much engineering. It’s cost will always be way too much for the food produced. Land isn’t expensive everywhere, just by major cities. If we are this desperate to grow feed, the population needs to start steadily decreasing. Growing foods instead of lawns should be the first measure before we start bioengineering and growing food on floating farms.
