The project contributes to the preparation, deployment and evaluation of showcases in 5 selected European and Chinese urban and peri-urban areas:

Resource-efficient agricultural techniques

The deployment of the three technologies foreseen in the different showcase locations is a challenge for the project and requires careful planning:

Green: technologies used for growing food
Blue: technologies for the treatment of waste
Yellow: technologies for the generation of energy
IT Software: software for user engagement or communication of the projects with the respective communities.

Systems produced in different countries or even continents are going to be integrated, with the purpose to demonstrate circularity in practice, produce food for the targeted populations and promote the accomplishment of the vision and objectives of each showcase.
