PROJECTS

The overall scheme brings together a number of projects which will test different aspects of sustainability.

To achieve our strategic goals we will deliver an integrated series of activities addressing the dual needs of energy and food resilience for this deprived neighbourhood in the face of climate change.

We will deliver activities which foster the emerging markets for locally generated energy and locally produced food. In doing this we will use both supply-side and demand-side measures to stimulate the markets.
