There are a couple of constraints there. We have a limited amount of arable land to feed the world's population and a significant amount of the carbon emissions in modern farming practices comes from harvesting and transport.
I can't see any way to harvest and transport agriculture products without carbon emissions today.
I like how hn always finds a way to blame everything on programmers. Who would have thought carbon emissions are our fault? (I hope its to blame on my silly mood)

If you think LEDs have gotten epic, check out his research. They're just getting to be more efficient than HPS.
You asked in relation to what modern farming is among the worst culprits regarding carbon emissions. I suppose that merits a comparison to other know ways to grow food? Most of the crops "we" grow use to grow just fine on their own. We've cultivated them to be dependent. It doesn't seem unreasonable to think we can cut carbon emissions beyond 100% (eventually)
To add a funny: We wont optimize the Nodejs to the point it changes into ERLANG. It takes a whole new approach.
