Why?
| Project Objective: | CITYFOOD will develop general concepts and urban planning strategies to implement improved IAAC systems at a much broader scale into cities. The complexity of the FWE Nexus will be addressed by intertwining two threads –theoretical scientific research and applied research of IAAC implementations in cities |
| Call Objective: | The Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus is a joint call established in order to bring together actors to find innovative new solutions to the Food-Water-Energy Nexus challenge. The ultimate goal is to increase the access and the quality of life. |
