This stood out to me: "Ironically, the more environmentally intensive practice of tilling was his only option if he wanted to keep his organic certification, a lesson that organic farming does not necessarily equate to what’s best from a climate change perspective."
I would love to see a future one about whether buying organic is good for climate (and whether that really matters). Also, what can lay people do to accelerate changes that incentivize climate-forward farming?
I enjoyed this piece and thought it was thorough and well-written! Do you have a sense of what the GHG profile is like from vertical farming and whether that could make sense as an emissions-reduction strategy?
Nice!
