This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 55-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a consortium of research funding organizations focused on support for transdisciplinary approaches to global environmental change challenges and opportunities. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. Each partner country provides funding for their researchers within a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. This approach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellent research on topics of global relevance best tackled through a multinational approach, recognizing that global challenges need global solutions. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries. The teams will develop and employ new transdisciplinary approaches to address sustainable consumption and production as a socio-technical system to help inform decision-making for sustainable, resilient, and just systems of consumption and production.The project focuses on the role that city regions and urban agriculture can play in sustainably intensifying agricultural production to meet global food needs in the 21st century. Greater investment in localizing city region food systems—combining food production in cities and their peri-urban landscapes—promises to shorten supply chains and reconnect producers with consumers, improving socio-ecological sustainability and resilience. Sustainable urban agricultural intensification is likely to entail greater use of technologies that decouple food production from environmental constraints including seasonal climates and available land base. Proposed technological systems range from capital-intensive approaches such as vertical farms, which fully control the growing environment, to more knowledge-intensive approaches such as urban agroecology that balance environmental modification with crop diversity and agronomic adaptation. While knowledge of the relative resource requirements, environmental footprints, and productivity of these production systems in terms of energy and land-use intensity, life cycle impacts, and yield are being investigated, this study will focus on comparatively evaluating the equity and justice implications of different pathways toward a sustainable city-region food system.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为参加一个由55个国家通过Belmont论坛进行全球变更研究的计划竞争性选择的项目提供了支持。 Belmont论坛是一个研究资助组织的财团，专注于支持全球环境变化挑战和机遇的跨学科方法。它的目的是加快迫切需要的国际研究的交付，以通过结盟和动员国际资源来消除可持续性的关键障碍。每个合作伙伴国家为财团内的研究人员提供资金，以减轻资金越过国际边界的需求。这种方法设施有效利用国家资源来支持关于全球相关性主题的出色研究，这是通过跨国方法来解决的，并认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。该奖项为美国研究人员提供了支持，以在财团中合作，该公司由至少三个参与国家的合作伙伴组成。这些团队将开发并采用新的跨学科方法来解决可持续的消费和生产，作为一种社会技术系统，以帮助为可持续，抗性和公正的消费和生产制度提供决策。该项目着重于城市地区和城市农业在可持续发展中的作用，以实现可持续发展的农业生产，以增强农业生产，以满足21St Century的全球食品需求。在局部化城市地区食品系统（将城市及其城市周边景观中的粮食生产结合起来）方面的投资更大，可以缩短供应链并与消费者重新连接生产商，从而提高社会生态可持续性和韧性。可持续的城市农业强化可能需要更多地使用将粮食生产与环境限制与包括季节性气候和可用土地基础在内的环境限制的方法。拟议的技术系统范围从完全控制不断增长的环境的垂直农场等资本密集型方法到更多的知识密集型方法，例如城市农业生态学，它们平衡环境修饰与农作物多样性和可满足的适应性。研究了这些生产系统在能源和土地利用强度，生命周期的影响和产量方面的相对资源需求，环境足迹以及生产力的了解，但正在研究中，这项研究将着重于比较评估不同途径对可持续性的城市粮食体系的不同途径对不同途径的公平和正义含义，这些奖项通过评估NSF的合法宣传和支持的支持，这表明了NSF的众多效果，这是对众多的影响。 标准。
