US4F Journal 6
The Urban Soil 4 Food (US4F) project reached its end, and this last Journal aims at reconstructing its journey and the impacts it has reached. The City of Maribor, Snaga and Wcycle institute, which bring together the in-house companies of the City of Maribor, work together to implement the Circular Economy Strategy of the city approved in 2018. In particular, the Wcycle institute brings within its board the main utility companies of the municipality of Maribor, which greatly facilitates the implementation of this strategy. For full details, please see the attached report.
