Development of a simulation-based decision support workflow for the implementation of Building-Integrated Agriculture (BIA) in urban contexts

Khadija Benis, Christoph Reinhart, Paulo Ferrão

Journal of Cleaner Production > 2017 > 147 > C > 589-602

Providing healthy food for the world’s growing urban population is a recognized global challenge and it is likely that current modes of conventional, large-scale farming will over time be increasingly complemented by local, urban farming practices. Apart from its acknowledged social benefits, urban farming is also widely viewed as a more resource-efficient alternative to conventional remote farming...

Potential mitigation of the environmental impacts of food systems through urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) – a life cycle assessment approach

Khadija Benis, Paulo Ferrão

Journal of Cleaner Production > 2017 > 140 > P2 > 784-795

Global food systems are as vital for human survival as they constitute a major threat to the environment, being key drivers of climate change, water use, toxic emissions and habitat change. In a business as usual scenario, these impacts will most likely increase, driven by population and economic growth, which will lead to a higher demand for food, and probably for the most environmentally intensive...
