如果你是一个城市居民,不能到乡下采摘新鲜的农产品,那么纽约的一个新项目将通过船把农场带到你那里。被形容为“漂浮的食物森林”,它是部分农场和部分艺术项目,都充满了一点遥远的想法。
原定于今年夏天启航的纽约Swale公司计划在一艘由集装箱建造的80英尺乘30英尺的驳船上建成一座全面运作的粮食林。在他们的网站上,由混合组织和个人捐赠者资助的Swale组织表示,该项目将作为雕塑和工具,在公共艺术和公共服务的交汇处提供免费的健康食品。
如果操作按计划进行,每天将有大约300人能够在驳船上挑选甜菜、芦笋、甘蓝、甜菜、覆盆子、苦瓜、阿鲁古拉、韭菜或洋蓟等新鲜食品,但组织者说,这也是“致力于重新思考和挑战纽约市与环境的联系”。整个项目也花了大量的工程,包括弄清楚如何解决这个问题。淡化和净化城市不太干净的水道中的水。
Gizmag称,Swale希望在6月份推出,在纽约多个不同码头停留一个月,从新罗谢尔开始,然后进入混凝土工厂公园、州长岛、36号码头、布鲁克林大桥公园、布鲁克林海军航站楼,然后11月在斯塔顿岛(Staten Island)的家乡港(Homeport)竣工。

The whole project has also taken a heavy dose of engineering, including figuring out how to desalinate and purify water sourced from the city’s not so clean waterways. Photography: courtesy of Swale
Swale is hoping to launch in June, making stops at a number of different NYC piers for about a month at a time beginning in New Rochelle before hitting Concrete Plant Park, Governor’s Island, Pier 36, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn Navy Terminal, and then wrapping up at Staten Island’s Homeport in November.

If the operation works as planned, around 300 people a day will be able to pick freshly grown foods like beets, asparagus, kale, chard, raspberries, huckleberries, arugula, leeks or artichokes on the barge. Photography: courtesy of Swale
