the same way it was done before much of the
current nonsense came along. diversity, smaller
farms and people working together as an actual
community.

i've seen good results here on not much room
at all, no reason it can't work on a larger
scale other than needing more people who would
want to do it. enough people get hungry enough
and perhaps they will want to do it too.


Cuba is a good example of those sorts of techniques. I can't imagine
too many people in the first world being willing volunteers for the sort
of hard work that involves.
