城市农业（UA）的发展提高了城市官员和民间社会组织对其对粮食系统潜在影响的认识。这导致了各种政策来规范和支持UA。本研究基于来自欧洲和美国五个案例研究城市（多特蒙德、Gorzów Wielkopolski、伦敦、南特和纽约市）的政策数据，对现有的粮食、能源和水（FEW nexus）政策进行了特征化，分析了它们与UA的关系，并确定了支持资源高效UA的政策类型。本文介绍了78份与UA和FEW联系相关的政策文件的分析结果，以及UA政策专家对16项广义UA政策在促进资源节约型UA方面的有效性进行q排序排序的结果。在五个案例研究中，对联系政策的支持的数量、类型和程度各不相同。结果表明，大多数策略（36）是在局部尺度上实现的，少数策略（19）包含了nexus的所有元素，但许多nexus策略间接地包括UA。规章制度更为普遍，被认为比奖励措施或提高认识政策更能有效地确保资源效率高的普遍获得性。该研究为希望在未来UA中改善资源利用的政策制定者提供了指导，指出了当地粮食政策日益重要的意义。
The growth of urban agriculture (UA) has raised the awareness of city officials and civil society organizations of its potential effects on food systems. This has led to various policies to regulate and support UA. This research characterizes existing food, energy and water (FEW nexus) policies based on policy data from five case study cities in Europe and the U.S. (Dortmund, Gorzów Wielkopolski, London, Nantes, and New York City) to analyze their relationships to UA, and to identify policy types that support resource-efficient UA. The paper presents the results of an analysis of 78 policy documents related to UA and the FEW nexus, and the results of a Q-sort ranking by UA policy experts on the effectiveness of 16 generalized UA policies in promoting resource-efficient UA.The number, type, and degree of support for nexus policies vary among the five case studies. The results show that the majority of policies (36) are implemented at the local scale, that few policies (19) incorporate all elements of the nexus, yet many nexus policies include UA indirectly. Regulations are more prevalent and are considered more effective at ensuring resource-efficient UA than incentives or awareness-raising policies. The study offers guidance to policy makers who want to improve resource use in future UA pointing at the increasing importance of local food policies.
