I don't commonly post here, but this caught my eye and I have professional expertise.
It simple enough. Larger farms in ideal growing regions with established infrastructure are massively more efficient by an order of magnitude.
Gardening is 'probably'* carbon positive.
Its OK though. I still have my vege garden and so should you (or community garden).
It's fun. It builds resilence into your community and local supply chain. And most hobbies are carbon positive, this one comes with benefits too.
In my city, personal/community gardens are a haven for bees and insects. However, there is a lot to be gained with scale if done responsibly.
