nice

how many people can live off 1 acre? 4?

i doubt it

it depends on the climate and soil, and wether or not you want to eat meat because meat is alot harder to produce per calorie than crops

also you dont want to push the land you have to its limit because that leads to food insecurity

chicken doesn't need much space

and you could still hunt

you also need to produce your own firewood

true but i would get solar panels

safe me some of work

You don't need to cut trees

You can always use the ones that have collapsed

Cutting trees is only fine if it is an emergency

@_CREWMAN do you have any higher quality versions of that first picture?

Did my first hydroponic harvest today. Lots of spinach and lettuce.

Very nice!

thats really cool

You need 1 acre to support one family for 1 year, if I remember correctly 🤔

or it was 1 person.. Can't recall

it seriously depends

if you're neeting it up hardcore in the middle of nowhere, maybe

once you are looking at even a small community growing, it gets a lot easier, you need a lot less land

theres a pretty vibrant small scale farming community on the jewtubes, look at urban farming for small footprint stuff, check out polyface farms for alternative ranching ideas

joel salatin is probably a nut, but he runs a successful ranch in a sustainable manner

1 acre for 1 family might be enough if youre good

an acre is a lot of land

if you are growing wheat or corn, sure, acreage is key

t. farmers son, for what its worth

@neetkthx
Wouldn't it be ideal for a community to exist and each family/person specialize is growing their own thing instead of everything diversifying like crazy on their own plots
