How many tomatoes, or other vegetables, do you grow there? What about the environmental cost of living in a place that allows you to have a garden big enough to grow vegetables at all? You are using more fuel to get to and from your place; you waste more energy heating/cooling it, you require subsidies to get power, water and sewage infrastructure to your house (subsidized by the commons, btw). How much kettle or poultry do you grow? How do you contain their pollution? What about scaling - how does your proposed lifestyle scale? The science is clear, and people in the field don't even question it: high-intensity farming (and living) are the true 'green' way of organizing our society. Low-density, 'farmer's market supported', everything-local is a luxury product, affordable for an elite only, and the popular conception just needs to catch up to that reality.
