«Grow 4 Brussels 2030» embodies the way forward in, literally, the current climate. The historical CIVA building will be transformed into a multifunctional hotspot where farm to plate and community are the key terms of this ambitious project. 

The ingredients of the in-situ market and restaurant are locally sourced. With local actually being on site itself. Hydroponically grown vegetables, freshly farmed fish or even honey, straight from the site’s beehives, will lure in the local community, but also people from different areas.

The rejuvenation of the CIVA building creates a, in these times especially, much needed sense of community and zero-waste food production- and consumption area.

When a rich history, creates a green future.
