Well thats just false. So many things want to be planted in the autumn so they can enjoy not so hot temps and come up vigorously next year. This includes most bulbs and wildflower seeds. 8ts going be be pretty zone dependent, but mid summer can be a good time to plant certain crops including some winter vegetables.

It’s also worth pointing out that herding/grazing animals play an important role in the ecosystem and soil restoration. They can and should be incorporated in solarpunk whether or not they are consumed. Our best indicator of when humans arrived at a location is when the local megafauna died off.
