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
Fun little statistic, if you ripped up half of the yard grass and half of the horse farms in the U.S. and turned them into no-till farm land, you would double the U.S. agricultural output, and halve our CO2 emissions.
I don't believe this for a second. It sounds like typical anti-single-family-home-with-decent-yard nonsense.
It's got to be making extremely generous assumptions about yields and what could be realistically be grown in the climate. A lot of yards also have trees or other shade features that aren't great for gardens. Are we supposed to cut those down while we're at it?
