It is very therapeutic to garden, though. (lemmy.today)

You can have both and it doesn't need to compete with industrial farming or meet some business model. It just needs to meet your needs and/or goals.

Gardening lets you grow the stuff you want how you want and eat it fresh without taking days and trucks on a highway to get it to you.

I'm thankful for the conveniences of modern agriculture but if gardening didn't have any positive impact why did they push victory gardens so much in WW2?

It feels good, teaches valuable skills, makes your neighborhood more resiliant and gives you healthy things you want to eat. It's more than simply therapeutic.

You can have both, or you can have just industrial, but you cannot have only homegrown non-industrial.
