DakAkker

Urban Farm DB summary

The official site of DakAkker, a rooftop farm on top of the Schieblock building in Rotterdam. It describes itself as a 1,000-square-meter rooftop farm growing vegetables, edible flowers, and fruit and keeping bees, calling itself the largest open-air rooftop farm in the Netherlands and one of the largest in Europe. It is presented as an initiative of ZUS (Zones Urbaines Sensibles) and the Rotterdam Environmental Centre together with Optigrün Benelux and binder daktuinen, framed as part of Rotterdam's first city initiative 'de Luchtsingel.' The roof also hosts 'Slimdak,' a test site for smart rainwater management. 'Dakennie,' its environmental education program for Rotterdam primary schools, is financially supported by Watersensitive Rotterdam, the City of Rotterdam's nature and environmental education division, and the Hoogheemraadschap Schieland en de Krimpenerwaard water authority. The page itself does not state an opening year, which could not be confirmed here.
