I was reading the 'one straw' revolution
but its a Japanese book and the author was espousing Buddhist principles, though basically hed been doing it for 30 years on not very much land, because Japan does not have much arable land pn being self sufficient and people go visit him and learn the kind of farming that is regenerative and they do not need much money, machinery, or any chemical pesticides, fertilisers at all because the practice is to grow rice and then use the straw as mulch on the field, with some manure, and sow into that without ever tilling the soil.
however that lifestyle it is labour intensive during the seasons of harvesting. They need to fetch water and cut wood. Would you be up for that?
Its not for the lazy. Its for those who find joy in being close to nature and loving according to the seasons. If you the kind of person who doesnt like getting their hands dirty or lifting things or wants everyone else to do those things without lifting a finger yourself, its gonna die a nasty death
like Jonestown
see God doesnt work the way men do or see it from our perspective. When God called the israelites out of Egypt, He was showing them the Promised Land. He needed them to look after it because the cannanites had pretty much ravaged it with their sexual immorality.
in modern day Israel people had set up kibbutzes. But actually now those kibbutzes have gone bust and thy are not what they used to be, because man had taken over and tried to make a profit from them rather than Gods intention to make the desert bloom.
