天台耕作這些城市農業都能增加本地農作的供應和減低對入口農作的依賴。本地農作減少了運輸的距離,成本和時間,大大減低了碳排放。亦因為較短的運輸時間,農作物相對較新鮮和減低了對農藥的依賴。
泥土亦有儲存碳的功能,都能令都市的溫室氣體數量下降和推向成為可持續城市。應對SDG 11其中的一個目標,減少城市對環境的影響。
也因為較短的運輸的距離,城市農業可以為人們,特別是窮人和弱勢群體提供新鮮和營養的食物,這也是可持續發展目標 2 消除飢餓的目標之一。
Urban farming like farming on a rooftop can increase the supply of local crops and reduce the reliance on imported crops. Local crops have a shorter commute which can decrease the emission of greenhouse gases and can lower the reliance on preservatives.
Soil can also store carbon as a carbon sink and can reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the environment. It can make the city more compatible in becoming a sustainable city to achieve one of the targets of SDG11, to reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities.
Also, with less commute, urban farming can provide fresh and nutritious food to people in particular the poor and the people in vulnerable situations, which is also one of the targets of SDG 2, ending hunger.
