For a lot of people it does have to be that way though. I just saw an article claiming 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. They can’t really decide to take the more expensive climate friendly way. A billionaire could absolutely decide to do that though.
Conveniently omitting a lot of factors here. Was going to mention the cost of labour, but that's barely even scratching the surface of how ignorant this is.
I don't know when you last tried growing a balanced diet, but I can tell you that growing anything as a crop is quite a way off "just kind of growing itself."
Where did you get your $300/acre/yr figure?
Maybe if you rented 1000 acres.
Unless you're suggesting we collectivise agriculture, then sure.
Can you forward me some info on this?
Contrary to what you may think, I'm down to work my own single acre. Seems like a good way. I already live in rural Canada.
Land prices are much higher than you indicate around here.
For example, the smallest and cheapest plot I can find for rent is 60 acres. It's $40 per and also very difficult to access with no water supply either, hence the low price. So, 2.4k minimum. If I organized a community then we could get something done and we for sure aren't growing fruits and vegetables. But that's not what you are describing.
