With Shimizu’s Green Float project, floating islands are designed to form a lily pad– like colony. A skyscraper on each pod will be equipped with vertical plant farms while livestock and other farming would take place in “plains” surrounding the tower. The company hopes this would produce 100 percent of the food needed by the residents.
