Green Lab is being developed as a social eco-innovation to improve food systems sustainability, with a focus on increasing resource efficiency and reducing waste. Green Lab leading a "Green Revolution'' shifting the thinking around how our food systems need to be a more circular system. Spain is one of the largest growers using hydroponics in Europe with a dependency on resource attentive production of nutrients from natural and synthetic sources. Fertiliser is a core part of food systems, depletes mineral resources, is energy-intensive, and is used linearly; changing the way we develop future nutrient and fertiliser production is critical to maintaining an ecological balance of nature and protecting the planet's scarce resources. The project aims to create synergy between the innovations developed by Green Lab using urine digestate and the need for European (Spanish) farmers to adopt and develop new ways of growing crops using naturally occurring minerals and new innovative ways of recovering and developing fertilisers. Urine, digestate(compost), and is an excellent source for fertiliser, if mined could create a closed-loop approach to fertiliser, making the food system more sustainable, resilient, and circular. The activities undertaken will demonstrate the benefits, processes, methods and physical results of using HUNS as methods to replace fertiliser in the farming of value crops.

绿色实验室正在发展成为一个社会生态创新，以提高粮食系统的可持续性，重点是提高资源效率和减少浪费。绿色实验室引领“绿色革命”，改变我们的食品系统如何成为一个更加循环的系统的思维。西班牙是欧洲使用水培的最大种植者之一，依赖于从天然和合成来源生产营养素的资源。肥料是食物系统的核心部分，消耗矿物资源，是能源密集型的，并且是线性使用的;改变我们开发未来营养和肥料生产的方式对于维持自然生态平衡和保护地球稀缺资源至关重要。该项目的目的是创造协同效应之间的创新开发的绿色实验室使用尿液中的磷酸盐和需要欧洲（西班牙）农民采用和开发新的方式种植作物使用天然存在的矿物质和新的创新方式回收和开发肥料。尿液，堆肥，是一种很好的肥料来源，如果开采可以创造一个闭环的肥料方法，使食物系统更具可持续性，弹性和循环。所开展的活动将展示使用HUNS作为在价值作物种植中替代肥料的方法的好处、过程、方法和物理结果。
