Advancing Sustainable Urban Agriculture Through Scientific Innovation: Perkins&Will's Research Initiative

Perkins&Will is pleased to announce that it has been awarded funding from the Government of Canada and the Agricultural Clean Technology (ACT) Program Research and Innovation Stream. The funding, totaling CAD $429,000 over three years, will support the project titled "Resource Circularity: Waste-to-Resource Closed Loop Ecosystems." Led by senior researcher Mohamed Imam, Ph.D., Perkins&Will will collaborate with industry partners from the University of British Columbia, the City of Vancouver, and local urban farming experts to advance research on urban agriculture and strategies for increased resource circularity practices. With a combined in-kind contribution of $200,000 from partners, this project aims to reduce environmental impact in agriculture and contribute to Canada's commitment to a sustainable future, while addressing evolving city policies focusing on food security and resilience.
