FARMERS' NEEDS

This Is why I penned? To help everybody else to dig out ideas from my mind that inform investment, innovation, and other activities like regeneration. The bottom line is that I am annoyed with the current agricultural systems for which I’m drawing us back to the ancients to project the future and cushion our food supply chains, existence, health collapse, cultural collapse, resource depletion, failing political systems (propaganda), capitalism, and social upheaval. Finding the room to write honestly and genuinely about "farmers' demands" in today's digital world might be challenging. Because of this, the book offers solutions geared toward "farmers and rural communities." That my research is pointing me in the correct path is encouraging. It is that philosophy I'm espousing. I think if you have understood my clout well. Now listen! These are some of the questions that need to be asked and answered. Have you ever farmed? Do you know what's involved in farming? Have you calculated the cost of work, time, equipment, logistics, and much more involved to produce food? Do you have a clue about the tragic events and injustices which rural farmers go through? Growing food isn't free! Yes, farmers exchange it for time and effort, and money. Okay. Water, Soil, Climate, Resources, Training, Design, and Security must be factored in. Let’s also go into how big the farm and how many people work on the land/farm. Do they work manually or use any type of machinery? Do you know if they only eat from the farm or do they substitute it with outside nutrition? Also is this per season? What type of “agriculture” do they do here?—crops, cattle, aquaculture, poultry, insects, forestry, etc. Which distribution/supply chain model?—parish or sub-county—is best Which infrastructure is present or absent? What are the vulnerabilities in the community? If they’re trading, then they’re interdependent. Everyone relies on others to do so the things they don’t know how to do or don’t have time to do themselves. It is a mutual respect that counts. “The notion of absolute self-reliance and modernity is a myth.” Therefore, specialization and decentralization of food production, labor, and subsistence lifestyles are necessary to sustain any reasonable-sized population.
