The Netherlands is one of the largest soybean importers. By cultivating it ourselves we can be more sustainable and profit economically. Due to the growing amount of consumers of plant based dairy, there has been an increase in demand for soy as well as a rising demand for more awareness of the origin of our food.

SOY is a farm that encompasses the entire production from plant to dairy and produces enough soy based dairy to supply Rotterdam for a whole year. At the centre is the production where all the necessities are located to create real Rotterdam soy dairy.

To create awareness of the origin of our dairy the consumer can visit the experience centre. Which is located at the centre of the building where they are surrounded by the many plants being cultivated. The architecture of the façade is also a part to create awareness. The semi-transparent façade is used as an invitation for the people to come and experience the process of soybean dairy for themselves.

SOY is a unique example for other agricultural products to be cultivated in similar buildings.
