Resumen

La literatura recientemente publicada sobre infraestructura verde, soluciones basadas en la naturaleza y servicios ecosistémicos (DE) se ha centrado principalmente en el suministro de servicios de regulación urbana y servicios ecosistémicos culturales (ES). Otra literatura sobre la agricultura urbana y periurbana ha estudiado principalmente el papel de las prácticas agrícolas localizadas e intensivas en la provisión de alimentos a los habitantes. El objetivo de esta revisión es aumentar la concienciación y subrayar la falta de conocimientos sobre la importancia de los servicios de abastecimiento urbano, en particular cuando se aplica un enfoque de infraestructura verde comestible (EGI), ya que puede ofrecer una mayor resistencia y calidad de vida en las ciudades. Se recopilaron y analizaron sistemáticamente los estudios de EE y DE urbanos relacionados con una serie de tipologías de EGI. Nuestra revisión sistemática de la literatura relevante a través de un marco EGI, identificó más de 80 publicaciones revisadas por pares que se centraban en la SA y la producción de alimentos en áreas urbanas. Un enfoque EGI puede contribuir social, económica y ambientalmente a la sostenibilidad urbana y la seguridad alimentaria. Sin embargo, estos beneficios deben sopesarse frente a las compensaciones de los alteradores endocrinos, incluyendo: los riesgos potenciales para la salud causados por la exposición humana a los metales pesados y a los contaminantes químicos orgánicos que a menudo están presentes en los entornos urbanos. Concluimos con recomendaciones y directrices para la incorporación de EGI en el planeamiento y diseño urbano, y discutimos áreas novedosas para futuras investigaciones.
