I can see the point of funding the study, to help people make decisions that reduce their carbon footprint, but I am skeptical about the generalizations. There are so many different ways to run a garden or farm that can affect its carbon footprint, from different methods of mulching, to no-till approaches, and so on, that I think the variability overwhelms the gemeralizations. And of course, the key for us in Canada is that so much of our food is imported with the concomitant high carbon footprint. Anything we can do to replace the imports is pretty well guaranteed to be an improvement in those terms. I assume you are having as crazy a January out your way as we are here on the coast. A few weeks ago we broke all sorts of records for cold, and now, the predictions are that this weekend we are going to absolutely destroy high temperature records. And of course, the unpredictability and variability is the worst case scenario for farmers. How can they properly plan for an unpredictable future? LC
