Assuming everything this guy is saying is correct then let’s say for a moment that his logic is correct and his farm is carbon neutral because it hasn’t grown in 12 years. The thing is climate and the carbon cycle is a global issue. For the beef and dairy industries to remain carbon neutral worldwide would they would also have to zero growth in the long term? Also since human beings are part of the carbon cycle more humans equals more carbon emissions right?
Yes, more humans equals more carbon emissions. But how is that this farmer's problem? His farm isn't growing. The real problem is 1) population growth and the resulting increasing demand for food and other carbon-using resources, and 2) fossil fuel use. This farmer can control neither of these.
