And Now… “Carbon Footprint of Homegrown Food Five Times Greater than Those Grown Conventionally”

January 24th, 2024

Mmm hmm.

Via: The Telegraph:

Growing your own food in an allotment may not be as good for the environment as expected, a study suggests.

The carbon footprint of homegrown foods is five times greater than produce from conventional agricultural practices, such as rural farms, data show.

A study from the University of Michigan looked at how much CO2 was produced when growing food in different types of urban farms and found that, on average, a serving of food made from traditional farms creates 0.07kg of CO2.

The impact on the environment is almost five times higher at 0.34kg per portion for individual gardens, such as vegetable patches or allotments.

    After the success of the Covid scam, they’re probably thinking, “Let’s go even bigger.”
