Description:

URBAN VETICAL FARM FOR SHANHAI IN 2030

There are vertical farm facilities in the downtown area of Shanghai, some of the farms move to residential areas and offer mobile farms that provide services to consumers. It has a system that combines production, distribution and processing.

What is happening in Shanghai? Shanghai is home to about 24 million inhabitants and is in need of much food. Approximately 56% of Shanghai’s main diet consists of spinach, lettuce, cabbage,
watercress, and other vegetables. But over the past two decades, China has lost 123,000 square kilometers of agricultural land in Iowa due to urbanization. According to the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, one sixth of the cultivated land (about 200,000 square kilometers) is suffering from soil contamination.

MOVING FARM makes this a major urban food producing area, but one of the city’s most important functions is the integration of indoor and outdoor farming activities. Vertical farms preserve agricultural land in the city, manage production and distribution to provide food, protection, and convenience for consumers.

A new segment of pickup trucks in the open format will contribute greatly to future agricultural development and food security. It is an open-type pickup truck for the user, not a pick-up truck for the luggage compartment.
