Another twist in the story of the Dutch floating dairy farm
A floating dairy farm in the Netherlands, designed to promote sustainable farming on a new scale, has been put up for sale by its owners. This followed a dispute with the local environmental department.
A floating dairy farm in the Netherlands, originally designed to promote sustainable farming on a new scale, has seen another twist in its story, according to Irish farming outlet Agriland.
The owners recently put the farm up for sale after a fall-out with the local environmental department. The report says the department had commented on a new floor at the farm. The available source excerpt does not specify what exactly the department required or objected to.
Because the available text is truncated, it is not known what the new direction for the farm involves, what its current status is, what the asking price is, or whether a buyer has been found. The excerpt does not cover these points.
The floating farm is an example of an attempt to combine milk production with the idea of sustainability in an unconventional setting. Its future now depends on how the sale and the relationship with environmental authorities develop.
