This couple transformed their front yard into an agricultural ecosystem,
designed to minimize waste and produce food year-round
Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by 2 kilograms for every kilogram of homegrown vegetables, when compared with store-bought vegetables. This is due to several factors, they report, including:
· converting a section of grassy lawn into vegetable production.
· producing food where it's consumed — people's homes — rather than at centralized farms, reducing the need for transportation.
· reusing some household grey water to irrigate vegetables, instead of sending it away to a wastewater treatment plant.
· composting food and yard waste in lieu of sending it to a landfill.
