WHAT WAS CLAIMED
The WEF wants to ban people from growing food at home.
OUR VERDICT
False. The WEF has called for no such ban, and has no such policies.
AAP FACTCHECK - A recurring claim that the World Economic Forum (WEF) wants to ban people from growing their own food at home has taken root online again.
A Facebook post shows a picture of forum founder Klaus Schwab and is captioned: "The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that governments enforce bans on members of the general public growing their own food at home in order to comply with the unelected globalist organization's 'Net Zero' agenda."
The caption goes on: "According to so-called 'experts' behind a recent WEF study, researchers apparently discovered that the 'carbon footprint' of home-grown food is 'destroying the planet ... the WEF and other globalist climate organizations are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food in order to 'save the planet' from 'global warming'."
