We should absolutely move as much as we can into greenhouse production. We already do this with hot house tomatoes. And it's easy to transition into other different forms of produce, especially greens.
It saves on land, it cuts the use of pesticides and fertilizers, it reduces the chance of foodborne illness, and maintains secure food production throughout every season. It's quite literally a no-brainer, we just have to invest.
We should also promote yard gardening. Some citites try to restrict citizens from planting veg. We had a townhome with less that 10 x10 area. We planted lots of herbs, greens, tomatoes and carrots. It meant we very rarely had to go get those items during the summer and fall. It does not have to be an all or nothing solution for sustaining food supply
It’s important to recognize why this is. It attracts bears and this is harmful to the bears and humans. The bears end up getting killed just for foraging. Important detail as on its own it just sounds like cities are trying to stomp out sustainability but it’s way more story to it than just preventing for the sake of prevention.
We lived where there were no bears.
Yes! And even if you can't grow outdoors, there are things you can plant indoors, including simple herbs.
How do they justiify this bollocks???
It attracts bears and this is dangerous to both bears and humans. Bears get killed just for foraging. It’s not even political so it’s weird how it even went there. You live in Canada. There are bears here.
Thats good to know, there are region specific reasons which make sense. Where I used to live, they banned it in urban settings thanks to pressure from seed companies who were pissed people were using legacy seeds that could self propogate.
Zoning laws. Some cities started to listen to advocates and allowed veg and chickens in yards for personal use
No it’s bears.
We had no bears in southern Ontario, still cities had restrictions. Also jerk neighbours wanted to see grass not vegetables in their neighbouring yards
As long as light pollution is controlled
If it's an indoor production using grow lights, there would be no light pollution outside:
More traditional greenhouses with transparent ceilings can be operated in a way that mitigates light pollution.
It's a relevant concern, but not a dealbreaker.
