Cooperations

2.3 Cooperation

A “Sustainability Hub” - as the name already indicates is a hub of several competencies, since sustainability exists in multiple domains like agriculture and food processing, renewable energies, or circular manufacturing. To make this place a connected and vibrant place it is recommendable that Solare Zukunft teams up with other Nonprofit Organizations to incorporate to give the citizens of Freiburg and other curious people a better understanding not only about sustainability itself but also about the interconnectivity through sustainability of many different domains. For example, how to use solar energy to process food, or to get more precise - for example how to grow tomatoes by yourself and arrange them since they need to be covered from direct rain underneath some solar panels as shown in Figurcd e 1.

As a starting point, there are Nonprofit Organizations from Freiburg listed which could be a fit for the “Sustainability Hub”. A table (see table 1 appendix) is created out of the previously done market research by the criteria of having no space, dealing with subjects integrable into the “Sustainability Hub”, and being in Freiburg. More information about the possible cooperation partners can be found in the market research.
