Comparing the carbon footprints of urban and conventional agriculture
The carbon footprint of food from Urban Agriculturre (UA) in USA and EU is six times greater than conventional agriculture. However, some UA crops (tomatoes) and sites outperform conventional agriculture. These exceptions suggest that UA practitioners can reduce their climate impacts by cultivating crops that are typically greenhouse-grown or air-freighted, maintaining UA sites for many years...
