THE COFFEE VILLAGE
by Hyunwoo Shim
The project aims to create a sustainable village in the UK, focusing on agriculture, industry, and residential areas. It involves growing coffee locally and recycling coffee grounds for various industries. The goal is to establish an eco-friendly process from production to treatment, connecting agriculture, industry, and housing in a self-sufficient manner. The project also aims to share its industrial outcomes with neighboring projects and cities to promote eco-friendliness. The Coffee Village initiative addresses environmental concerns such as carbon footprint and methane gas emissions caused by importing coffee and landfilling coffee grounds. It utilizes greenhouses to grow coffee in the UK's unpredictable climate and recycles coffee grounds for various purposes, including natural fertilizer for farming. By implementing this eco-friendly cycle, the project aims to serve as a model for sustainable villages in the UK.
