There is no way a backyard farm requires more carbon if you add in the transportation. It also doesn't consider the connection to the environment and local community generated by the act of farming. Did they consider the amount of O2 produced by a garden plant versus a commercial plant. Commercial plants live exactly long enough to produce an under ripe fruit/vegetable where garden plants are most likely in place the entire season. Did they consider the carbon footprint of all the pesticides and fertilizers used in commercial versus gardens? i could go on, but this is clearly a biased study to be used to try and curb self sufficiency. Look what they are doing to the Amish. Your homestead is next.
You probably know facts don't matter. My guess is whoever did this study, cherry picked only what shows urban gardens are worse than production farms. The idea is to eliminate us from being sovereign, so all they need to do is find some way to explain why they need to make home gardens illegal.
Sure, they don't look at everything. The whole exercise is meaningless since global warming is made up. It doesn't exist. Any study is going to make their point, so the studies are also flawed.
Even if it were true, it wouldn't matter. We have a right to grow our own food. Period.
