What's the advantage of floating farms in a world facing climate change?
文字稿
Fresh milk - within touching distance of the city. These cattle have been recruited as part of an experiment to show rapidly growing urban populations how to produce our meals closer to home.
新鮮牛奶，離城市很近。這些奶牛被選拔來(lái)參與一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)項(xiàng)目的一部分，向快速增長(zhǎng)的城市人口展示如何在離家更近的地方生產(chǎn)食物。
Peter believes this is the future of milk and cheese.
彼得相信這就是牛奶和奶酪的未來(lái)。
Peter van Wingerden, 'floating' dairy farmer
You see a huge migration from the countryside towards cities and the other thing is we have [a] climate change going on. So we were looking also for what we call a climate-adaptive location. So no matter how much rain falls, no matter how high sea level goes, we can always produce our life essential[s] – healthy food.
彼得·范溫格登? ? ? “漂浮農(nóng)場(chǎng)” 農(nóng)民
“你可以看到大量的人口從農(nóng)村向城市遷移，另外還有氣候變化。所以我們也在尋找一個(gè) “氣候適應(yīng)性地點(diǎn)”。不管降雨量有多少，不管海平面有多高，我們總能生產(chǎn)出我們的生活必需品——健康食品。”
The floating pontoon is built on three levels. In the basement they're growing fruit to flavour the dairy products, which are processed in the middle. And on top, 32 native Dutch Meuse-Rhine-Issel cows.
這個(gè)漂浮農(nóng)場(chǎng)共有上中下三層。在下面一層種植水果，作為給乳制品調(diào)味的原材料，乳制品在中間層加工。上層有32頭荷蘭本土的默茲·萊茵·伊塞爾奶牛。
The cows are milked by robot machines. Their manure is collected by pooper-scooping robots. They're fed by robots too.
機(jī)器人給奶牛擠奶。奶牛的糞便由負(fù)責(zé)鏟糞的機(jī)器人收集。機(jī)器人也負(fù)責(zé)喂養(yǎng)它們。
The farmer lives nearby, but he can keep an eye on his herd remotely via apps on his mobile phone. The cows seem to be adjusting to this hands-free approach.
雖然農(nóng)民住在農(nóng)場(chǎng)附近，但他可以通過(guò)手機(jī)上的應(yīng)用程序遠(yuǎn)程監(jiān)控牛群的情況。奶牛似乎也適應(yīng)了這種無(wú)需動(dòng)手的方式。
And on the question of animal welfare…
