Sustainability as a topic in landscape architecture addresses a cross section of environmental and social needs. While transportation alternatives, water quality and air quality are common considerations in sustainable urban development metrics, food provisioning seldom is. This research examines one potential variable determined by environmental designers that can play a critical role in supporting a sustainable food system: residential urban agriculture or the potential to produce food within a residential lot considering existing lot size and configuration. This study evaluates the potential for existing residential lots to provide for the caloric needs of residents in four case study communities within the San Francisco Bay Area and defines a new metric for evaluating a community’s relative productive potential
