Green Grow & Thrive Catalyst

Bringing together research on Urban Agriculture, Social Prescribing and Urban Greening

The Green, Grow, & Thrive Catalyst is an interdisciplinary hub bringing together Salford researchers and external partners with an interest in urban agriculture, green infrastructure, and social prescribing. Our mission is to create a space for networking, to facilitate knowledge sharing, and to create opportunities for collaboration and innovation. Born from the previous Industrial Collaboration Zone units (2014 – 2023): the Salford Care & Urban Farm Hub & Salford Social Prescribing Hub, the combined venture aims to scale-up work and act as a catalyst for collaboration, both internally and externally.
