Wait, are we sure this is lefty utopia? This is talking about self-sufficiency of growing our own, having more direct purchases from farmers and not being reliant on corporate conglomerates for sustenance.
This sounds like a RIGHT utopia as I would kill to have space and time for a vegetable and fruit garden and my own beehive. Hell while we at it, give some chickens too. This would be hell for leftists as the more self-sufficient you are, the less likely you are going to conform to a group as you don't need them to survive.
Hundreds of thousands already do this, and as far as I can tell the small truck-patch farmer with a sideline of raising chickens is still doing pretty well.
In some major cities downtown farmers' markets do exceptionally well because they can jack their prices up, and city-bred-and-bound yuppies can't tell and don't care.

Given we are over 7 billion Humans now
It's not our job to feed 7 billion people
Never said it was, just that we should have in the million range of people even growing their own herbs which is the stage I'm at.
Doing any little measure for some self reliance should be all our goals.
