They're not wrong tho. If all the farmers died and yall knew it when it happened, you can figure it out pretty easy. But farming wouldn't look the way it does today and that would be ideal.

I definitely think that anyone has the potential to learn to farm, but this still involves more actual knowledge than they can get from a few google searches *in time to save the food supply.*
This person trivialized a process that actually takes a great deal of understanding, and the struggles even experienced gardeners have with their gardens underscore that farming success definitely isnβt just due to land inheritance.
Industrial farming is not successful nor does it have any relation to gardening.
People farming 10s of thousands of acres of corn and soy beans only exist because of government subsidies and inheriting land.
Yeah Iβm talking about farming in general, including levels of gardening that feed any more than just one family, not industrial farming.
That's not what op was referencing though. They're talking about 90% of farmers.
I get what you're saying, as I am a farmer who bought my own land with my own money and all my animals and am managing as responsibly as possible. But I'd be surprised if more than 10% of food is produced this way globally, far less in the US
