URBAN SOIL 4 FOOD – Establishment of Innovative Urban Soil Based

“Urban soil 4 food project starts from the challenge of using cities‘ waste (biological and mineral) to produce a useful product (soil), which could be later used for meeting different cities‘ needs, such as food production, parks and construction. As main innovative output of the project, project partners will develop a safe and certified soil with by-production of energy (through using technology of fermentation and pyrolysis).

The project will be articulated around four main interconnected aspects (‘circles’) backboned with two key investments: the establishment of a pilot system for urban soil production and the establishment of four urban gardens (using the urban soil produced).”(https://uia-initiative.eu/en/uia-cities/maribor)

The circles are : material circle, food circle, open innovation circle, knowledge circle.
