The proposed “Eco-Quarter” is located within the city of Nottingham. Situated along the northern banks of the River Trent, the site is a known key strategic location for the city and also is a major appeal for development.
The “Eco-Quarter” proposal is to create, develop and establish the East Midlands very first Vertical Farming Facility as a part of a flagship initiative, within an ongoing sustainable residential development, of Nottingham City’s Waterside Scheme.
The “Eco-Quarter” scheme will be the beginning of a “Pilot-Plant” initiative for the region. It will form a key cornerstone of the Trent Basin’s residential development and, in time, a crucial part of the overall riverside-community.
The proposed scheme will become an established hub for social gatherings that will allow visitors to enjoy the river frontage as well as provide a primary source of leafy green vegetables, fish products and naturally sourced honey to local residents.
The “Eco-Quarter” will also specialise in the use of Aquaponics and Hydroponic farming techniques, enabling it to be able to produce a higher crop yield and annual harvest than what a conventional linear farm would produce.
Varied Methods of Vertical Farming Solutions, to be used within the Eco-Quarter.
