Abstract

Urban agriculture can contribute to sustainable development. However, a holistic investigation is lacking to comprehend its positive and negative impacts on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our systematic analysis of around 1,450 relevant publications on urban agriculture, screened from 76,000 records, fills this gap. We map and analyze the text in the literature for each SDG target and its associated positive or negative sentiments. Here, we report our results highlighting that urban agriculture is linked to all SDGs, with 142 and 136 targets having positive and negative sentiments. The mapped positive sentiments are around double the negative ones. We identify six leveraging opportunities urban agriculture provides for sustainable transformation with four hurdles to be resolved. Urban agriculture does not inherently contribute to sustainability. Its impacts rely on the adoption of specific practices. Realizing urban agriculture's social, economic, and environmental functions to accelerate SDG progress requires tackling the hurdles.

城市农业事关可持续发展。

城市农业有助于可持续发展。然而，目前还缺乏全面的调查，以了解其对可持续发展目标（SDGs）的积极和消极影响。我们对从 76,000 条记录中筛选出的约 1,450 篇有关都市农业的相关出版物进行了系统分析，填补了这一空白。我们绘制并分析了每项可持续发展目标的文献文本及其相关的积极或消极情感。在此，我们报告了我们的结果，其中强调了城市农业与所有可持续发展目标的联系，分别有 142 和 136 个目标具有积极和消极情感。所映射的积极情感约为消极情感的两倍。我们确定了都市农业为可持续转型提供的六个杠杆机会，以及需要解决的四个障碍。都市农业本身并不有助于可持续发展。它的影响取决于具体做法的采用。要实现都市农业的社会、经济和环境功能，加快可持续发展目标的进展，就必须克服这些障碍。
