In the hotel industry driven by sustainability goals, environmental management participation is not just a duty but a significant opportunity to build value and credibility. “Circular Urban Farming” or circular urban agriculture is one approach that concretely meets Green Globe standards.
Rooftop farms not only repurpose unused spaces but also help reduce food waste within hotels. Food scraps are transformed into organic compost and reused to grow safe, fresh vegetables served directly to guests. This reduces the carbon footprint from food transportation, decreases reliance on external suppliers, and enhances organizational food security.
Implementing Circular Urban Farming systems can also engage hotel staff at all levels, aligning with Green Globe criteria 2 and 8, which emphasize community involvement and sustainable social development, as well as criteria 1 and 9, focusing on greenhouse gas reduction and ecosystem impact.
By integrating urban farming with comprehensive food waste managementâsuch as organic waste separation, composting, and seasonal planting plansâhotels can reduce waste by over 30-50% daily. This positive outcome can be proudly presented when applying for Green Globe certification.
Circular Urban Farming is more than a green activity; it’s a sustainable value-creation strategy that aligns economic growth with business ethics.
