WATERSCHOOL M4H + investigates how a range of resources can contribute to building a sustainable and circular learning environment, in order to meet the water challenge and ensure an optimized ecological footprint for the 6,300 future residents of M4H +. It illustrates what this new living and working environment could look like when guided by the use of the resources that will make it possible to achieve an equal interaction of all organisms, communities, and their environment. Insects, duckweed, seaweed, wood, and fungi are the five highlighted resources that shape the future of living in M4H +, influencing all areas of life. Source: https://smb-waterschool.nl/en/news/iabrdown-to-earth-waterschool-m4h-exhibition/42
