Hydroponic Urban Nutrient Recovery System (HUNS)

绿色实验室是一种社会生态创新，旨在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。绿色实验室领导了一场“绿色革命”，改变了我们的食品系统如何成为一个更循环的系统的想法。西班牙是欧洲最大的水培种植者之一，依赖于自然和合成来源的资源关注生产营养物质。肥料是粮食系统的核心部分，消耗矿物资源，是能源密集型的，并且线性使用；改变我们发展未来养分和肥料生产的方式，对于维持自然生态平衡和保护地球稀缺资源至关重要。该项目旨在将绿色实验室利用尿液消化液开发的创新与欧洲（西班牙）农民采用和开发利用天然矿物质种植作物的新方法以及回收和开发肥料的新创新方法之间的协同作用结合起来。尿液，消化物（堆肥），是一种很好的肥料来源，如果开采可以创建一个肥料的闭环方法，使粮食系统更具可持续性，弹性和循环性。所进行的活动将证明在种植有价值的作物时，使用肥料作为替代肥料的方法的好处、过程、方法和实际结果。

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.
