Science says: Carbon footprint of homegrown food five times greater than those grown conventionally
“conventionally” means on an industrial scale. Only “professionals” should be allowed to grow fruit and vegetables. Growing food inside a city, such as in home and community gardens, results in overall more carbon emissions than growing food on farms. It’s Just Science.
Fruit was found to be 8.6 times more eco-friendly when grown conventionally compared to in a city, whereas vegetables were 5.8 times better for the environment when left to the professionals.
