After a talk with some locals while visiting the RDM site some discoveries were made. One of them was the lack of a good store where you can buy your food. You have to travel a great distance from the RDM area before you are in a neighborhood where you can buy your goods. This, in combination with the decrease of agricultural land by expanding cities in The Netherlands, brought me to an urban vertical farming project: Foodcenterdm. What this foodcentre will do is bring fresh, healthy and affordable food directly to the customers at the RDM area, right in the middle of the city of Rotterdam. | After a talk with some locals while visiting the RDM site some discoveries were made.

People having a break from work or the students from the RDM campus can buy their fish and vegetables at the floating market stalls for their dinner that evening. The stalls can moor at the bend of the pier where they can form a small market place. They can sell the goods right on the spot or distribute them to other areas of the RDM wharf. |
