SUMMARY:Integrating hydroponics into our cities - Melanie Jans-Singh\, PhD
  Candidate\, Engineering Department
DTSTART:20180216T150000Z

CONTACT:Karen Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:As 3.5 billion more people will populate our planet by 2050\, 
 and the majority in cities\, we need to rethink how our agricultural syste
 ms brings food to urban areas. In the Energy Efficient Cities initiative\,
  we are developing tools to optimise the integration of urban farming into
  our cities\, by reusing waste resources\, and assessing the multiple valu
 e streams of urban edible plants. From putting hydroponics in the Engineer
 ing Department\, to analyse the city of London's schools and urban farming
  networks\, this presentation should show how challenges can be addressed 
 and improve resource use efficiency.
