越来越多的人认为，城市地区自产水果和蔬菜生产会增加粮食安全，但缺乏支持这一假设的证据基础。通过整合遥感地理信息系统数据，实地考察，和公民科学项目（MYHarvest），我们将估计英国自己种植的水果和蔬菜生产的当前水平，以及如何增加，如果更多的城市土地可用于自己种植。这将为研究科学家、政策制定者和公众提供英国第一个关于自主种植产品的综合数据集，并将突出城市园艺对地方和国家粮食安全的重要性。
Societal Impact Statement Own-grown fruit and vegetable production in urban areas is increasingly assumed to increase food security, however, the evidence-base to support this assumption is lacking. By integrating remotely sensed Geographic Information System data, fieldwork, and a citizen science project (MYHarvest) we will estimate the current levels of UK own-grown fruit and vegetable production and how this could be increased if more urban land was made available for own-growing. This will provide the first comprehensive UK dataset on own-grown production for use by research scientists, policy-makers, and the public, and will highlight the importance of urban horticulture to local and national food security.
