I think you're genuinely thinking about solutions, but, your knowledge base needs working on.
"fertilizer and pesticides, which honestly don’t matter climate wise"
They honestly do matter very much!
The "climate" isn't some abstract phenomenon that exists outside of the planet's ecosystems. Insects are fundamental components of an ecosystem. Insecticides kill insects!
Overuse of fertilizer, both organic and synthetic, runs of the land into rivers and oceans (i.e., more pollution)
Nither of which have anywhere near the impact of say, Diesel fuel consumption on global temperatures. Everything you jest mentioned is an effect on the local environment, not the gobal climate, which is to say what we were talking about.
