The issue most cited across critiques was simple: When urban farms were separated from community gardens in the study, the higher rate of greenhouse gas emissions reported essentially disappeared. Overall, they found greenhouse gas emissions were six times higher at the urban sites—and that’s the conclusion the study led with.

But the key points are: The National Farmers Union has supported the ethanol industry as it has helped farmers maintain a stronger market and has reduced the greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation industry. The overall impact of the greenhouse gas reductions of ethanol compared to gasoline are therefore hard to balance.

Farming is also an important contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Side by side with that loss of diversity was a long growth in greenhouse gas emissions that has only recently begun to be addressed. public, across party lines, is concerned about the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food production.

But rather than reduce fossil fuel use directly in their supply chains, some choose to offset their pollution by buying “carbon credits” designed to reflect greenhouse gasses taken out of the air elsewhere. And agroforestry has broad ecological positives that aren’t necessarily reflected in the raw accounting of carbon offsets.

And because food and ag systems are responsible for roughly a third of total greenhouse gas emissions—not to mention the other ecological issues that can result from hyper-industrialized and non-regenerative practices—food advocates need to play vital roles in both taking accountability and building solutions.
