Not only a centre for research in agriculture, it is one of the key visitor attractions on the peninsular and home to award-winning gardens. Ness has already made assertive strides to addressing its sustainable future; the visitor centre's power comes from an array of on site solar panels, the centre is topped with a ver- dant green roof, and much of the food sold there is grown on site. Farm Urban is working with Ness Gardens to show how aquaponic urban farms can work on larger scales on the fringe of the city. We will be growing food for the gardens, experimenting with new technologies and also be setting up a demonstration urban farm in the visitor center greenhouse to educate visitors about the possibilities of urban farming. The UTC is a pioneering life sciences college in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle. Its students are aged 14-19 and are being taught in an innovative hands-on laboratory environment that encourages the early development of a wide range of professional skills and student-led critical learning. Farm Urban is currently running a 12-week agri-tech and aquaponics enrichment programme with UTC students, which has given rise to the world’s first DNA double-helix inspired aquaponic system and will culminate with the installation of a productive farm and live food lab in the school’s basement. Farm Urban and the UTC are developing a collaboration with Lancaster University to install a super- critical CO2 extraction device which will extract essential oils from plants grown aquaponically in the basement food lab. Farm Urban and the UTC see aquaponics as a vital educational vehicle that can be used to provide a hands-on laboratory for life sciences, engineering and design students, while opening dialog around issues of global food security and its potential solutions. Situated on the site of the historic Herculaneum Docks, City Quay is the largest apartment complex in Liverpool and home to a thriving residential community. The resident-managed community understand the importance of creating a beautiful and sustainable environment in which to live. Recent initiatives include their own on-site apey, raised vegetable beds, a fruit orchard and eleven varieties of lavender beds. City Quay is becoming an urban oasis against the backdrop of a Grade II Listed Monument; the 46 Casemates situated at the rear of the site. Farm Urban is working with City Quay on their latest innovative project to turn one of the sandstone casemates into a flagship community urban farm. This will house an aquaponic facility, a mushroom farm and a sprout and microgreen production unit, establishing a new grassroots food community in the heart of Liverpool. Dubbed "the creative playground", Liverpool's Baltic Triangle is rapidly becoming one of the most vibrant and exciting urban areas in Britain. 24 Kitchen Street is an intimate, mixed-use independent music and arts space, combining creativity with sustainability in the heart of The Triangle. Farm Urban is working with Kitchen Street and the Centre for Global Eco Innovation to realise one of the first low- carbon entertainment spaces in the UK; using aquaponics to grow in-house food for the cafe, integrating green walls to create a healthier, sustaining atmosphere, and working with engineers at the University of Liv- erpool to trial new sustainable energy solutions, including integrated rainwater capture systems. The roots of Farm Urban’s vision stem from increasing interaction between schools, the local community and the university, showcasing how a university and community can work together. The university is an academic centre of excellence, performing cutting-edge research in diverse areas such as agriculture, aquaculture, biomedical science, renewable energy and sustainable urban infrastructures. Farm Urban is currently developing an urban farm on the roof of the Liverpool Guild of Students that will showcase the latest in sustainable growing techniques and renewable energy technologies from the University; growing healthy and resource efficient food for the guild. We are collaborating with Lancaster University; prototyping an intelligent renewable energy capture device which combines an automated PV array and wind turbine, with a GPS system to ensure maximum solar and wind energy capture to power the aquaponic systems. Liverpool's Churchill Flyover is a classic example of a 1960s concrete eyesore, currently scheduled for demolition at a projected cost of £3-4 million. However, it is also a key part of Liverpool’s architectural heritage, and a potentially valuable ecological and cultural resource. The Friends of the Flyover is a grassroots movement who see ‘The Flyover’ being pedestrianised and gifted to the people, creating a pedestrian and cycle-friendly promenade in the sky. Farm Urban will be working with The Friends of The Flyover to add aquaponics, green walls and renewable energy devices to the Flyover, creating a thriving oasis and green lung in the centre of the city; an iconic attraction for residents and visitors.
