๐Ÿงต Nature confirms farmers are good for the environement

Anonymous No. 16273154

New article in Nature says that growing your own food in your own garden is bad for the environment.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s44284-023-00023-3.epdf
This means that all of the massive amounts of criticism heaped on conventional agriculture and farmers by environmentalists is completely unfounded. Does anyone else find it to be no surprise at all that the lazy pseudointellectual urbanite know-it-alls who have ample free time to spend pontificating about agriculture on social media sites like this one have absolutely know idea what they're talking about? No only are they too lazy to have productive jobs like farmers do, the urbanites are also too lazy to do any proper research before shooting off their mouths on any and every topic

Oh yeah, it's finally happening. We will all eat the glyphosate ridden slop prepared using industrial scale farming of gmo crops and a side of crunchy bug proteins. If you resist this, you're a climate change denying Nazi incel chud.

let me guess, you consider yourself more knowledgable on this topic than the people publishing in nature even though you've never studied it even at the freshman level and everything you learned about it and presume you know you got from goyslop media, is that an accurate assessment, dr. dunning kruger?

Mostly sure, your average environmentalist is a fucking retard. But soil depletion by industrial farming is a real issue.

I agree with your characterization of Mr dunning Kruger and them in general. However I canโ€™t in good faith understand how growing your own food is a bad thing

In my neighborhood for example lots of people have pear and peach trees growing in there yard.

On my walks I pick one off the tree and eat it. As Iโ€™m walking I always think how much we are getting scammed buying stuff from the store when Mother Nature gives it to us for free.

Sometimes I even drink freshwater from the creek and I shit you not itโ€™s clear as it would be from the sink.

I donโ€™t think the elites are being honest from my experiences with Mother Nature. So I understand both of your points

The study found certain crops consistently perform better in urban environments than with conventional agriculture. It also found 43% of urban farms and 25% of individual gardens outperform conventional agriculture.

Community gardens threw off the curve by consistently underperforming. Classic tragedy of the commons.

In summary, traditional farming for certain crops is just wasteful and growing your own food can easily be good for the environment if you just don't be an idiot, assuming 3 in 4 people are idiots, which is true at a minimum.

Yes but you have to think wild animals drink this same water and they are fine. I see coyotes squirrels and rabbits and birds.

If It doesnโ€™t kill them and they are still thriving in nature then maybe the pathogen theory is overblown

Industry has fuck all to do with science. An industrial process cannot be scientific because industrial processes count on not producing new or unexpected results.

That's not to say neither field uses the fruit of the other, but industry's as related to science as art is.

Of course farmers are good for the environment, they're the ones who grow all the plants. None of the environmentalists who constant screech their false concerns about the environment would ever bother lifting a finger to actually improve the planet and make it greener by growing plants, only farmers do that. """"environmentalists"""" are too busy shilling their doomsday fantasies and lies on social media to actually expend energy doing something good for the planet.

Article says that current economics and consumerism with its marketing for pretackaged home farm solutions promotes inefficient home farming, and that better practices that are not so wasteful should be explored.

THEREFORE retardo-op concludes:
>This means that all of the massive amounts of criticism heaped on conventional agriculture and farmers by environmentalists is completely unfounded

That's quite a stretch.

I guess you all believe that, if there is not a solution to your problems, then the problem given to you on a silver platter no longer exists!

Have you guys even read the article?? It is GARBAGE!

Fig. 1 tells you all you need about the statistical validity, and it is incomprehensible that this was allowed past the reviewers and published.

Also:
>This Article addresses these gaps through carbon footprint analy-sis of low-tech UA, covering 73 sites in France, Germany, Poland, theUnited Kingdom and the United States, using data collected throughcitizen science
Translated: hippies smoked weed and grunted out reports that we will not questiontoo much. Have you heard of the term garbage in, garbage out?

>However, select crops are carbon-competitive with conventionalagriculture.
Translated: amateurs grew stuff not suited for the place/climate/skillset and got poor yields. Sensitive crops did well. Weed smokers are suitably impressed.

>UA sites should invest in social benefits.
OK, so at this stage it is clear this is a political hatchet job, not real science.

Completely disingenuous interpretation. Conventional agriculture produces fewer GHGs than urban agriculture. Even just as far as GHG emissions go, that doesn't mean conventional agriculture is good, just less bad than urban agriculture. It can still be improved. This also says nothing about the other ways in which conventional agriculture harms the environment.

they had their own language... the whole reason they were starved was to suppress their growing calls for ukrainian independence... and this isn't even the first time this kind of suppression of a ukrainian national identity happened

they've always done their own thing with some intermingling with surrounding countries and they've always had their neighbors trying to put a boot on their neck

Guns allow weak men (You) to feel powerful. It's anti-natural, thus liberal. All the atheist liberal revolutions were due to the peasants having guns. And that's since the 1800s. Learn history, and not from CNN.

History went to shit when guns were used. It's a fact. Real men used swords, but with guns the peasants felt they were knights and this removed the boundary between the alpha aristocracy with the beta men.

You own a gun? then you are a liberal. Simple as.

Farmers are pieces of shit who created the agrarian revolution glorifying weaklings.
agriculture promotes weaker men and the rise of women. The only activity farmers need to do is get up in the morning and planting stuff. Woah. And farmers are naturally centralized which gives women more power by giving them a bigger pool of beta cuk devotees.
So there you have it: beyond hunter gatherer, the ruling class appears and it's full of merchants controlling the money market and women controlling the sex market.

Go to method section...

>We evaluated GHG (greenhouse-gas emissions) intensity per kilogram of fresh crop to compare between specific crops.

Exclusivly focusing on CO2.
No other environmental burden, such as pesticides and herbicides are mentioned.

Not mentioning the fuckton of wasted crops with "mass farming":
>As much as 40% of all food could be wasted globally when both farming and post-farming are taken into account

>https://www.wwf.eu/?4049841/fifteen-per-cent-of-food-is-lost-before-leaving-the-farm-WWF-report

Mass producing buld food, with extrem unrequired yield to get government subsideries.
>throw it away.

While small gardens do not even waste their crops. It mostly consumed or turned into compost to be reused.

>Exclusing post farming processing for grains and sneed oils
>exlcuding the buckload of chemicals involved to generate sneed oils and remove saponins and rancid fats form sunflower oils or canola

Next retardo method used:
>Servings convertdifferent crops to a single, comparable unit based on their nutritionalcontent, which is similar to converting foods to caloric content

So they create a ratio between calories and GHG ?!
Meaning sneed oils and shitty carbs get better ratio ?!

No private garden grows "grains" or sneed oils, but water based stuff, such as "tomatoes" or "berries" which do weigh a lot but are mostly water and nutrients.
As if the current problem is "we eat to few calories".
