The World Economic Forum has not demanded a ban on homegrown food
A recent study that examined the greenhouse gas intensity of urban agriculture recommended ways to reduce the climate impacts of home farming but did not suggest banning it. The WEF did not fund the study or have any involvement in it

Excerpt:
The claim: The World Economic Forum has demanded a ban on people growing food in their gardens, based on the results of a study it funded.
Our verdict: False. The WEF has not called for a ban on homegrown food and it did not fund a study recommending such a ban.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has rejected social media claims that it is demanding an end to home vegetable gardens off the back of a study it purportedly funded.
Facebook posts attribute the claim to an article published by Slay News, a website that describes itself as an “independent media outlet” and which has a history of spreading misinformation.
The article, which carries the headline “WEF Demands Ban on Home-Grown Food to Stop ‘Global Warming’,” claims that research conducted by WEF-funded scientists has “discovered that the ‘carbon footprint’ of home-grown food is ‘destroying the planet’”.
“As a result, the WEF and other globalist climate zealots are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food”, it says.
But a spokesperson for the WEF has rejected the claims as baseless, telling RMIT Lookout in an email that the organisation “has never made such a statement and does not endorse any policy that advocates banning homegrown food”.
The WEF in fact appears to be supportive of homegrown food, featuring many articles promoting the benefits of urban farming on its website.
