While urban indoor farming is a fairly new phenomenon, there is a growing interest from producers, authorities and consumers alike. However, many assumptions are made, and expectations held, about urban indoor farming from a sustainability, food production and food provisioning point of view. These assumptions and expectations need to be tested and assessed. This study assessed greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a number of social aspects of a newly established indoor urban farm in Stockholm. The farm was the result of a project created by commercial, civil society and municipal actors with the aim to make use of unused urban space, create jobs and produce food. While lettuce grown on the indoor farm emitted more GHG than lettuce cultivated outdoors in Sweden, it was more climate friendly than imported lettuce in our comparison. Furthermore, the indoor farm created value for the actors involved and for the city district, albeit on a small scale. Many of the positive environmental and social features owed to the small scale of the indoor farm and the context in which it developed. Thus, when evaluating production systems like this one, we need to be cautious and refrain from extrapolating the results.

Högdalen 城市农场：可持续性属性的真实案例评估

虽然城市室内农业是一个相当新的现象，但生产者、当局和消费者都越来越感兴趣。然而，从可持续性、食品生产和食品供应的角度来看，人们对城市室内农业做出了许多假设和期望。这些假设和期望需要进行测试和评估。本研究评估了斯德哥尔摩新建的室内城市农场的温室气体 (GHG) 排放和许多社会方面。该农场是商业、民间社会和市政参与者创建的项目的结果，旨在利用未使用的城市空间、创造就业机会和生产食物。虽然室内农场种植的生菜比瑞典户外种植的生菜排放的温室气体更多，但在我们的比较中，它比进口生菜对气候更友好。此外，室内农场为参与者和市区创造了价值，尽管规模很小。许多积极的环境和社会特征归功于室内农场的小规模及其发展环境。因此，在评估这样的生产系统时，我们需要谨慎并避免推断结果。
