By Frank Bergman<\/p>\n\n\n\n The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling on governments to ban the general public from growing their own food at home by arguing that they are causing \u201cclimate change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to so-called \u201cexperts\u201d behind a recent WEF study, researchers apparently discovered that the \u201ccarbon footprint\u201d of home-grown food is \u201cdestroying the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, the WEF and other globalist climate zealots are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food in order to \u201csave the planet\u201d from \u201cglobal warming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The research indicated that resorting to garden-to-table produce causes a far greater carbon footprint<\/a> than conventional agricultural practices, such as rural farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This research, conducted by WEF-funded scientists at the University of Michigan<\/a><\/em>, was published<\/a> in the journal Nature Cities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The study looked at different types of urban farms to see how much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced when growing food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On average, a serving of food made from traditional farms creates 0.07 kilogram (kg) of CO2, according to the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the WEF-funded researchers claim that the impact on the environment is almost five times higher<\/a> at 0.34kg per portion for individual city gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The paper\u2019s first author Jake Hawes said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe most significant contributor to carbon emissions on the urban agriculture sites we studied was the infrastructure used to grow the food, from raised beds to garden sheds to pathways, these constructions had a lot of carbon invested in their construction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The study recruited 73 urban agriculture sites around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those farms included some in Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The researchers say they conducted a comprehensive life cycle assessment on the site\u2019s infrastructure, irrigation, and supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hawes and his teammates grouped urban agriculture sites into three categories: individual or family gardens, including allotments; collective gardens, such as community gardens; and larger, commercial-orientated urban farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The researchers also found other factors that they claimed are \u201chazardous\u201d when it comes to impacting the alleged \u201cclimate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poorly managed compost and other synthetic inputs contribute to \u201cglobal warming,\u201d they warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They further advised that fruit was 8.6 times more \u201ceco-friendly\u201d when grown conventionally compared to in a city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vegetables, meanwhile, were 5.8 times better for the environment when left to the professionals, they claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, two-thirds of the \u201ccarbon footprint\u201d of allotments is created by the garden itself, as per their data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, they insist that people should be limited when it comes to keeping plants inside their homes, as well as growing food in their gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Urban gardeners used to have no qualms about greening their indoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For one, this reduces city living anxieties and emotional stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, being able to take care of plants inside their offices and homes could be part of interior design and a slight improvement in air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, climate alarmists are not going to give city dwellers peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the WEF researchers, greening indoor spaces can also come at an environmental cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They cite \u201ccarbon emissions\u201d from the trucks that transport plants, plastic pots, and synthetic fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These, they said, are made from petroleum and the harvesting of soil components like peat can \u201ctear up slow-forming habitats<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Susan Pell, the director of the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C., downplayed the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pell argues that members of the general public should at least still be able to grow potted plants at home, even if they can\u2019t buy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They just need to consider the \u201cenvironmental harm of indoor gardening,\u201d she claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The news comes amid a growing war against the food supply to supposedly fight \u201cglobal warming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Slay News reported<\/a>, 14 major American cities have set a \u201ctarget\u201d to comply with the WEF\u2019s green agenda goals by banning meat and dairy products by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The agreement also seeks to ban private car ownership and place other restrictions on public freedoms to meet the WEF\u2019s \u201cNet Zero<\/a>\u201d goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The U.S. cities have formed a coalition called the \u201cC40 Cities Climate Leadership Group\u201d (C40) which has established an \u201cambitious target<\/a>\u201d to meet the WEF\u2019s goals by the year 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To fulfill the \u201ctarget,\u201d the C40 Cities have pledged that their residents will comply with the following list of mandatory rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlier this week, New York\u2019s anti-Trump Democrat Attorney General Letitia James advanced this agenda by filing a lawsuit against the world\u2019s largest beef producer, as Slay News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NY AG James is suing JBS USA over claims the company has failed to meet its so-called \u201cNet Zero\u201d pledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/slaynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/klaus-schwab-home-grown-food-800x500.jpg\")
