In recent years, climate change has been the biggest challenges in the world. Climate change happened due to the high amount of carbon dioxide(CO2) emitted. The high amount of construction waste produced caused a high amount of CO2 emission where the use of materials followed a linear approach. Therefore, this proposal intends to promote a circular economy. Going circular allows minimizing the consumption of resources and waste by turning them into useful materials. It also encourages an urban regeneration, closes the loop of resources and enhances the resilience of the city that could respond to climate change.

Biofarm offers a place to investigate how agrowaste can be transformed into new material that benefits the built environment. Furthermore, it also offers a programme where the local community can investigate how agriculture production could strengthen the organic food production. In the proposal, advanced cultivation technology and agriculture robots were proposed to compare the traditional and the new agriculture cultivation meanwhile helps to monitor the agriculture production and research labs. Biofarm is also designed in a way that it keeps the local activities as part of the programme while adding in new activities that help to seek solutions to tackle climate change.
