  • Zero3: Urban Farming Company: Growing Healthy Communities…

    Closing the Waste-2-Energy-2-Food loop: Integrating waste management, communities & circular farming

  • 1/3 of cultivated food wasted 7-10 calories of fossil fuel to cultivate 1 calorie of food Around 88 million tonnes of food are wasted annually in the EU 4-in-10 consumers have food anxieties (contamination & GMO)

    Massive structural waste in our food system: Field-to-fork: dysfunctional, sensitive and resource hungry...

    annually lose and waste 1,3 billion tons of food – enough to feed 3 billion people (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) 14 % of the world’s CO2 emissions are caused by food waste

    Food loss/waste accounts for 4,4 gigatonnes of GHG pa. - if food loss/waste were its own country, it would be the world’s 1/3 largest GHG emitter – surpassed only by China and US Food losses and waste amounts to roughly US$ 680 billion in industrialized countries and US$ 310 billion in developing countries

    Around 88 million tonnes of food are wasted annually in the EU, with associated costs estimated at 143 billion Euros

  • Ecosystem Services: a new urban solution to close the loop:

    One industrial process becomes a valuable input into other industrial processes

    Economies-of-Scope

    Waste-2-Energy-2-Food: A shift to a circular economy by bridging disconnections within the food-energy-waste loop

  • Zero waste Zero carbon Zero miles…

    Zero3: Economies-of-Scope A Waste-Energy-Food bio-refinery

    Circular economy waste management: Converting organic food waste to: - Bio-energy (a micro-scale energy plant) - High-value crops and mushrooms - Organic compost (sequestered carbon) - Liquid soil bio-stimulator

  • Feasibility:

    Technology - Micro-scale AD digester - Hyproponic horticulture - Digeponics Future-ready innovation:

    Bio-refinery (waste-as-a-resource)

    Desirability: Social offering

    - Community sharing - Employment

    - Local food culture

    Local anchoring: Small and easy to deploy decentralised ecosystem

    Viability:

    Commercial - Extracting energy & nutrients from waste

    - Multiple revenues - Embedded market

    As-a-Service ownership model: Low-management solution driven by clear commercial returns

    Waste as a resource... Income generation, job creation, school integration, vocational training

    - Food provenance

    - Income generation - Food provenance

    - Independence - Community

    - Renewable energy infrastructure - Maintenance/service contract

    Product: Turn-key Micro AD energy

    eco-system:

    Service: Branded community

    entrepreneur food hub:

    - Investment tools and structures - Urban Farming Company brand values

    Business model: economically viable, socially desirable and technically feasible

  • Reasons to believe: linking ownable technology to communities... First-to-market: As-a-Service: waste-2-energy-2-food urban ecosystem Decentralised: No matter how efficient cities are, there’ll always be an inevitable amount of waste to tap into Economies-of-Scope: Co-location of small food/drink business facilitates with shared resources (brewery) Circular Economy: Low-cost extraction of energy & nutrients from urban waste Return on Investment: Cost-benefit not purely financial : low carbon, employment, community enhancement
