Soil from the City is a highly innovative, ambitious and achievable project, planning to divert commercial and municipal food waste from landfill and turn it into a resource to benefit the city. It will put Hereford at the heart of Britain’s emerging green technology sector and will contribute meaningfully to levelling up the city.
By using emission-free modes of transport, reducing vehicles on the road and reducing emissions by recovering resources, Soil from the City will contribute directly to the national Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan ‘Clean air’ target to reduce harmful emissions by 2030.

By developing a brown-field site, generating jobs in the green sector and using zero emission transport, this project aligns with the Government’s Ten Point Plan goals for green industrial growth.
This project will help achieve our priorities around a sustainable green agenda for Hereford and deliver the following Towns Fund Intervention Framework outcomes:
- Increased number of enterprises utilising high quality, affordable and sustainable commercial spaces
- More sustainable city centre with lower carbon footprint
