Abstract
Today’s rapid resource depletion and urbanization cause serious degradation in natural ecosystems. Nature and fertile soils are being replaced with densely built environments and intensive farming lands. Both agriculture and construction activities have a huge impact on the environment, that can be reduced with greater care. Combining agriculture and construction, under the roof of agro-sourced materials, could help to increase the biodiversity in agricultural lands, as well as reducing the impact of built environments. This thesis aims to illustrate, for Belgium, a cycle for the valorization of agricultural residues in construction. This cycle associates construction and agriculture by favoring ecological methods for both disciplines. Interviews with experts in related domains have been realized to identify local conditions, availabilities and main challenges to develop a local cycle. Fundamental viability principles of the cycle were also determined via expert interviews. Finally, different outcomes and further needs related to the integration of each cycle step in rural and urban areas were pointed out to contribute to the sustainability of our society.
