N2 - The food provisioning of European cities depends on the global food supply system. However, both economic crises, environmental pressureand climate change effects represent a risk for food chain stability. Urban agriculture (UA) increases the self-sufficiency and resiliency of citiesand is able to deliver positive environmental and social benefits. However, its efficacy depends on several variables, including the type of UAand the geographical location of the city. This paper analyses ReFarmers’ pilot farm, a vertical high-yield hydroponic croft located in the urbanarea of Lyon, France, from a life cycle perspective. The results show that the hydroponic farm performs better than cultivations in heatedgreenhouses, and similarly to conventional open field farms. Moreover, the source of the electricity input is a determinant factor that, if carbonneutral (e.g. wind energy) allows vertical hydroponic production to outperform the two conventional types of agriculture.
