Sustainable buildings and cities: the potential of integrated urban farms

In Europe, buildings are the largest energy consumer, with 75% showing poor energy performance. The Interreg North-West Europe GROOF project has studied how to integrate greenhouses on and to buildings to reuse the heat produced and reduce CO2 emissions. Caroline Bini, partner in the project, will demonstrate how this innovative approach towards urban resilience - circular urban farms - not only helps cities decrease CO2 emissions, but also improves access to local food.
