Research into the possibilities of a precision fermentation facility on Amsterdam’s Marineterrein
This thesis explores the potential for developing a precision fermentation facility to produce animal-free dairy within the urban context of Amsterdam’s Marineterrein. Precision fermentation is a biotechnological process that uses genetically modified organisms to produce specific proteins. It presents a promising alternative to traditional dairy farming. The study addresses the environmental, logistical, and social challenges of integrating such a facility in a densely populated urban area. It adopts a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating insights from urban planning, environmental science, and biotechnology. The research includes a literature review, interviews with stakeholders, and scenario analysis to develop design guidelines. The guidelines attempt to ensure regulatory compliance, community engagement, and sustainability. The findings suggest that a phased approach, aligned with Amsterdam’s sustainability goals for 2030 and 2050, can contribute to the successful integration of precision fermentation facilities.
