That's not what your quoted article says though? Not that I doubt it but the quote talks about different methods for producing tomatoes, not how different produces have different grenhouse emissions during production.
- Retric 6y agoThese differences extend to every crop making crop specific numbers more an average than reality. Lettuce grown indoors for example has an extreme carbon footprint from the lighting which would make imported tomatoes a better option.
- bosie 6y agoSure but that is the problem of the growth method rather than the type of produce. The claim was (might have misread it) that the produce itself has a massive difference all things being equal
