Sorry for the clickbait title but I thought a great video from a great but not well known channel.

        Pretty much any hobby is carbon positive. Gardening is almost certainly on the lower end of carbon positive hobbies.
In the agriculture domain, growing plants for the sake of direct consumption is not the primary source of emissions - that would be animal based agriculture by far.
Gardening promotes community resilience and health.

To add to your third point, helps people understand, respect and build a relation with our planet.

Like the kids thinking food just appears in the store or blindly trusting the weather report instead of measuring it yourself. Understanding has been taken away from us so we are easier to exploit by capitalism.
