The project aims to: create a truly comprehensive system to understand the contribution of existing types of Urban Agriculture (UA) to the sustainable development of cities; measure the quantity of produce as well as related energy and water usage associated with UA; expand knowledge about possible health risks, and use this system to ascertain and identify approaches to advance the performance of UA in terms of Food / Energy / Water (FEW) nexus. This will be done through extensive case study analysis from a transdisciplinary perspective, which encompasses key factors of urban food production and consumption systems. Resulting data will be elaborated through modelling of flows (of energy, water and other resources), with a methodology also based on urban metabolism.Objectives of the project include: the development of an innovative and comprehensive system (FEW-meter) to measure UA from a FWE nexus perspective; the establishment of an on-line community of growers that will help gather data; the development of scenarios of optimal use of urban resources, based on an expansion of UA at city scale; and the generation of digital tools to support urban growers optimising the urban metabolism of their agricultural practices. The project thus contributes to the transformation of cities towards sustainability.

该项目旨在：创建一个真正全面的系统，以了解现有类型的城市农业（UA）对城市可持续发展的贡献;衡量农产品的数量以及与UA相关的能源和水的使用;扩大对可能的健康风险的了解，并使用该系统来确定和确定在食品/能源/水（FEW）关系方面提高UA绩效的方法。这将通过从跨学科角度进行广泛的案例研究分析来完成，其中包括城市粮食生产和消费系统的关键因素。将通过建立流量模型来详细说明由此产生的数据（能源、水和其他资源），其方法也以城市新陈代谢为基础。该项目的目标包括：开发一个创新的综合系统（FEW-米），从FWE关系的角度衡量普遍获得;建立一个在线种植者社区，帮助收集数据;在扩大城市普遍获得的基础上，制定城市资源最佳利用的方案;以及开发数字化工具，以支持城市种植者优化其农业实践的城市新陈代谢。因此，该项目有助于城市向可持续性转变。
