With the overall aim to design successful implementation strategies of food-energy-water production systems on urban roofs, we propose an integrated process that includes participatory processes and a multi-dimensional sustainability assessment of environmental, social and economic indicators. The proposed framework was applied to a typical housing estate in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona made up of 201 buildings and 13,466 inhabitants and characterized by a high share of low-income families. We assess several future scenarios of joint electricity production (photovoltaic panels), vegetable production (through open-air farming and greenhouses), green roof implementation and rainwater harvesting and rank them according to non-participatory and participatory approaches. In general, there was a tendency for residents to choose strategies providing energy and water rather than the food production potential of rooftops. However, the environmental assessment indicated that the least impacting alternatives from a life cycle approach were those promoting vegetable production, meeting 42 to 56% of the residents’ fresh produce demand and reducing environmental impacts by 24 to 37 kg CO2<\/sub>eq m\u22122<\/sup>\u00a0of rooftop\/year. Hence, we found that residents were mainly concerned with energy expenses and not so much with food insecurity, social cohesion or the impacts of long-distance supply chains. Our assessment supports urban sustainability and helps identify and breach the gap between scientific and user preferences in urban environmental proposals by informing and educating residents through a participatory integrated assessment.<\/p>\n

Amb l’objectiu general de dissenyar estrat\u00e8gies d’implementaci\u00f3 de sistemes de producci\u00f3 d’aigua-energia-alimentaci\u00f3 en cobertes urbanes, hem proposat un proc\u00e9s integrat que inclogui processos participatius i una avaluaci\u00f3 multidimensional de sostenibilitat amb indicadors ambientals, socials i econ\u00f2mics. El marc proposat s’ha aplicat a un complex d’habitacles de l’\u00c0rea Metropolitana de Barcelona format per 201 edificis i 13.466 habitants, caracteritzat per una elevada proporci\u00f3 de fam\u00edlies amb ingressos baixos. Hem avaluat diversos escenaris futurs de producci\u00f3 conjunta d’electricitat (plaques fotovoltaiques), producci\u00f3 vegetal (a trav\u00e9s de l’agricultura a l’aire lliure i hivernacles), implementaci\u00f3 de cobertes verdes i recol\u00b7lecci\u00f3 d’aig\u00fces pluvials, per finalment classificar-les segons enfocaments no participatius i participatius. En general, els resultats mostren una tend\u00e8ncia dels residents a triar estrat\u00e8gies que proporcionin energia i aigua en lloc del potencial de producci\u00f3 d’aliments de les teulades. No obstant aix\u00f2, l’avaluaci\u00f3 ambiental va indicar que les alternatives menys impactants des d’un enfocament del cicle de vida van ser les que promouen la producci\u00f3 vegetal, que van satisfer entre el 42 i el 56% de la demanda de productes frescos dels residents i van reduir els impactes ambientals entre 24 i 37\u00a0 kg de CO2eq m-2<\/sup>\u00a0 de terrat\/any. Per tant, hem trobat que els residents estan preocupats principalment per les despeses energ\u00e8tiques i no tant per la inseguretat aliment\u00e0ria, la cohesi\u00f3 social o els impactes de les cadenes de subministrament de llarga dist\u00e0ncia. La nostra avaluaci\u00f3 dona suport a la sostenibilitat urbana i ajuda a identificar i trencar la bretxa entre les prefer\u00e8ncies cient\u00edfiques i dels usuaris en les propostes ambientals urbanes informant i educant els residents a trav\u00e9s d’una avaluaci\u00f3 integrada participativa.<\/p>\n
