This photo was taken on the UMD campus in mid September. It shows a green facade with grape vines growing up the walls of a classroom building as well as a pollinator garden. This garden and green facade are supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goal 9 for sustainable industrialization by cooling the building without use of fossil fuels, and providing an environment for insects and birds as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing space in an otherwise concrete environment. These vines provide shade and protection to the building, reducing the amount of solar radiation which reaches and is absorbed by the brick. The plants use the sun's energy for photosynthesis and help clean the air and reduce carbon dioxide. Additionally, the plants provide a food source (grapes) for birds, flowers for pollinators, and a home for insects which are native to the area. Additionally, the garden is aesthetically pleasing which allows for not only sustainability of energy and biodiversity, but also of the mind.

Introduced, cool-season, perennial, erect herb, typically 30-60 cm tall and with shallow rhizomes and roots. Stem leaves are alternate, stem clasping and toothed or pinnately lobed. Flowerheads of 1-3 heads. Heads are 3-6 cm diameter, with white ligulate ray flowers and yellow tubular disc flowers. Flowers mostly spring and summer. A garden escape that is now a weed, especially in disturbed or low ground cover situations, including native grasslands, roadsides and overgrazed pastures. Mainly grows in temperate regions where annual rainfall exceeds 750 mm; prefers low pH, low nutrient and heavy damp soils. Low quality and densely-growing, it can exclude other pasture species and reduce the carry capacity. Eaten by horses, sheep and goats, but avoided by cattle; will taint milk if grazed. Especially spreads where cattle graze, becoming more of a problem as grazing pressure increases. Effective controls include intensive cultivation, good grazing management, mob stocking of cattle, fertilisers (especially nitrogen) and herbicides.

Introduced, cool-season, perennial herb, with a fleshy white rhizome and 2-3 cm long,brown bulbs; bulbils are formed on a white fleshy rhizome and in axils of basal leaves. Vegetative parts die off during summer and re-shoot again in autumn. Aerial stems are absent or greatly reduced. Leaves are trifoliolate; leaflets are heart-shaped and 1-3 cm across, often with dark blotches. Yellow flowers occur in groups of 3-25 at the tips of stems that arise from the base of the plant. Sepals 5. Petals 5 and fused. Produces vegetative shoots in autumn and most flowering is in late winter and spring. No fruit are produced in Australia. A native of South Africa, it was introduced as a garden ornamental. It occurs where annual rainfall is greater than 320 mm per annum and colonises disturbed soils with moderate to high fertility & good moisture holding capacity. Spread by tuberous bulbs, bulbils and rhizomes. Disturbance of a colony can result in massive recruitment of new plants. Heavy infestations can be as dense as 3000 plants per square metre. A garden escape, it is now a weed of pastures, crops and orchards where it is extremely difficult to control once established. Competitive in pastures from autumn-spring, especially in winter rainfall annual pastures. It has been know to cause oxalate poisoning in sheep. Plants can be controlled by digging and removing bulbs or repeated use of herbicides.

BIGH's mission is to establish a network of sustainable aquaponics farms in big European cities. BIGH is known for its innovative infrastructure, technology and application of aquaponics. Our goal is to produce food such as herbs, fruits, vegetables and salmon trout on a larger scale. All our products are free of antibiotics and are produced sustainably.
BIGH's first aquaponic farm was designed on the roof of the Foodmet building, a food hall that is part of the famous Abattoir site in Anderlecht, Brussels. This pilot farm is considered one of the largest in Europe. A second aquaponic farm is under construction in Lilles, and development projects are also underway at other sites in Belgium and France.
All BIGH farms are integrated into existing buildings so that they can use surplus energy to reduce our climate impact. We design our farms according to the principles of the circular economy; the materials in our buildings are sustainable and reusable and true to the cradle-to-cradle concept whenever possible. Our farms are designed to make optimal use of water and energy, and to reduce the urban greenhouse effect. We also create spaces that encourage urban biodiversity.
