No one read about the new technological ways of agriculture?
I learned many years ago, that they're trying to create a habitate for growing food, without chemicals. All natural; sun, rain, etc.
They said, the whole idea is still a bit far, mostly because lack of funding. That it would take another 10 - 20 years for these new "farms" to become a reality.
And it would be able to create food all year long, due to being in a safe and closed environment.
One drawback, if I recall correctly, was the amount of $ it would take to make one, which is in the millions. But the fact that you'd be able to grow food 365 days long would end up being more beneficial, then the current systems in place.

As for the topic, I do give props to those who live this way. I would really like it, I love nature and would enjoy it, much more than going out to buy "food".
I also, agree it's not for everyone.
My grandfather used to live similar to this, he was a retired man with no need of $. He enjoyed working in his garden for hours and hours.
Around 15 years ago, I did a test (aptitude I believe it was. Fukn french, so idk the exact word). Out of I think 10, the #1 option I was told would suit me best was, horticulturist.
I was young back then, truely a different person.

The downside to this way of living, solar pannels and other "green" ways, is the fact that it's not cheap to get it going. If one day they become manditory, the prices will drop and it would be a better world.
And there in lies the whole problem, big coorporations will do w/e they can to halt/slow the process of progress, just so they can have more control over everything and ofc fill up their pockets even more.
Sad sad world...
Exactly. When more people study this tech and learn to apply it, more manufacturers will start making the parts, so if/when they do this,
we will be able to start replacing the "dirty" ones. This will make them cheaper, and available in a larger basis to public demand etc etc.
Very good
