Floating Responsive Agriculture is a project developed by Forward-Thinking Architecture, set to be tested in Singapore.
With the world's population constantly increasing, the future is looking more and more grim when it comes to food production. To try and provide a solution to this, Forward-Thinking Architecture have developed these floating agricultural systems that produce food for the public. The idea to test this in Singapore came about because of the floating fish markets that used to be in the area. There is plenty of water for the systems to be built on, and an interconnected system is easier because the nation is quite small.
Perhaps this is what farms will look like in the future.
