Ships as future floating farm systems?

Khaled Moustafa1.   

Abstract

Environmental and agriculture challenges such as severe drought, desertification, sprawling cities and shrinking arable lands in large regions in the world compel us to think about alternative and sustainable farming systems. Ongoing projects to build floating cities in the sea suggest that building specific ships for farming purposes (as farming ships or farming boats) would also be attainable to introduce new farming surfaces and boost food production worldwide to cope with food insecurity issues.

Keywords:  Alternative farming; farming boat; farming ship; floating agriculture; floating city; floating farm; floating greenhouse; sea farming
