growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own,
What’s funny is I started doing that years ago less for the reduced carbon footprint of growing stuff that actually thrives in my local climate compared to buying produce from a grocer and more as a zen-finding exercise so [redacted]
As in a natural wetland, flooding a rice field cuts off the oxygen supply from the atmosphere to the soil, which results in anaerobic fermentation of soil organic matter. Methane is a major end product of anaerobic fermentation. It is released from submerged soils to the atmosphere by diffusion and ebullition and through roots and stems of rice plants. Recent global estimates of emission rates from wetland rice fields range from 20 to 100 Tg/yr (IPCC 1992), which corresponds to 6-29% of the total annual anthropogenic methane emission.
All the small farmers are going out of business and the corporations are moving in with their AI powered sustainable drone systems, stop swallowing the anti farmer propaganda.
Let’s put the oil barons out of business before we put our farmers out of business.
This rhetoric is how you end up getting your daily food rations off Musky and his sustainable lab meat. Consolidation food production is not going to work out great for you average human, VC money funding grassroots left right and centre in this scene also, it’s all propaganda.
You think methane emissions from cattle magically reduces because they’re grown on a small farm? Our atmosphere doesn’t give a shit if the greenhouse gases came from a factory farm or an artisanal homestead, it’s all the same in the end.

gardening is cool mainly bc it encourages people to eat plants but for most foods the carbon footprint impact of growing locally is basically nothing
wut
edit:
still wut

oh rad thanks
technically yes but the total amount is so tiny it’s not even worth discussing
even the beef isn’t worth discussing compared to the CO2 emitted from driving and doing a bullshit job
I don’t see any cows out there drilling for oil.

jesse what the fuck are you talking about
If you can’t comprehend what i said then the message wasn’t for you.

it is all the same in the end
huh?
Think about what i said, it helps with understanding and stop you from falling for bullshit.
