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

methane from rice

wut

edit:

Flooded rice produces methane

still wut

[-] pillow@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

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.

If you can't comprehend what i said then the message wasn't for you.

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.

it is all the same in the end
