Abstract

We assess landed costs and selected environmental metrics for field-based and controlled-environment agriculture greenhouse (GH) supply chains for leaf lettuce delivered to New York City. Landed costs for a GH are 46 to 174 per cent higher than field production, with the lower value for an automated GH located in the peri-urban area. Energy use and global warming potential per kg lettuce delivered were larger for the GH, particularly if located in a peri-urban area. Water use was much higher for the field-based supply chain. Controlled-environment GH technologies will require further development to meet goals for lower costs and environmental impact.

生菜受控环境供应链的经济和环境绩效

我们评估了交付给纽约市的叶莴苣的田间和受控环境农业温室(GH)供应链的土地成本和选定的环境指标。地面采油成本比现场采油高46%至174%，而位于城郊地区的自动化采油成本较低。每公斤生菜的能源消耗和全球变暖潜能值对于生长激素来说更大，特别是如果位于城郊地区。以现场为基础的供应链的用水量要高得多。控制环境GH技术需要进一步发展，以达到降低成本和降低环境影响的目标。
