About 60% of the global human population is expected to be living in cities by 2030
(UN 2020). Complex food supply chains will be disrupted, and meeting demand will be an
increasing challenge. This thesis aims at finding to which extent it is more beneficial for Urban
Farms to centralize or distribute operations. Economies of Scale and Risk Pooling are found to
be factors in favor of centralized networks, while Transportation Costs and other intangible
benefits are shown to be factors in favor of distributed networks
