A recent study suggests that food grown in cities produces more CO2 than conventional farming. Is this really true? Is carbon the whole story? What would it ...
Sorry for the clickbait title but I thought a great video from a great but not well known channel.
Raised beds, fertilizer, hoses, etc all have a larger carbon foot print compared to the amount of food grown on the home scale. I’m sure a quick search would find one, it was a fairly recent study.
Is there an article version for the argument?
Not that I know of. He’s summarizing and critiquing some research that was done recently. Here’s an article about the research but the video does raise some caveats so take it with a grain of salt: https://theconversation.com/urban-agriculture-isnt-as-climate-friendly-as-it-seems-but-these-best-practices-can-transform-gardens-and-city-farms-221537
Thank you
