Synergetic integration of vertical farms and buildings: reducing the use of energy, water, and nutrients (2023)
Journal Article

Vertical farms use some resources very efficiently. However, their electricity use is considerable, and a significant amount of waste heat is produced. This paper investigates how the integration of vertical farms in buildings could reduce the use of...

The embodied carbon emissions of lettuce production in vertical farming, greenhouse horticulture, and open-field farming in the Netherlands (2022)
Journal Article

Over the past decades, various farming methods have evolved in response to the global challenges of increasing food demands, decreasing availability of arable land, and climate change. One of these new farming methods is vertical farming. To understa...

Designing the Future to Predict the Future (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The natural ecotone between people, community and carbon reduction is the zero-carbon community. Over recent decades, the design of zero-carbon communities has focussed too greatly on carbon emissions and not enough on building communities. Anthropog...

Planning Urban Food Production into Today’s Cities (2015)
Journal Article

If cities are to become more sustainable and resilient to change it is likely that they will have to engage with food at increasingly localised levels, in order to reduce their dependency on global systems. With 87 percent of people in developed regi... Read More about Planning Urban Food Production into Today’s Cities.
