Description:
This paper reviewed 32 projects related to NbS for food production and 50 tools were identified and characterised. Authors demonstrated that there is a lack of tools capable of supporting users for planning and implementing edible NbS; calculating the food potential of a city and/or of individual edible NbS, including the needed resources for implementation and operation (water, nutrients, energy); and assessing their urban design value, environmental and socio-economic impacts.
