Agricultural Innovation Campus
Creative Business Environment
The Agricultural Innovation Campus is a new business district, developed in Fengxian. The area is characterized by a diverse patchwork of agricultural plots.
Based on these existing qualities and surrounding functions, this new quarter for offices and entrepreneurs is developed towards an Agricultural Innovation Campus. The framework, based on the formal organization of farming plots, provides in- and outdoor space for experimentation by food-related enterprises. Different plots are filled with a variety of cultivations, combining testing and production with a diverse experience. This not only ensures a functional landscape, it also creates a park environment with a very rich experience value. Water fields and wetlands are combined with small terraced hills, rational organized orchards with organic flower fields for insects and bees.
