Once you have said land though, and are freehold, you can live off it by farming it, growing livestock etc ignoring the need to buy land , just for the sake of arguement : assume a revolution & all the land was split up & given to Joe Public :p Eventually you will need/want things that cant be grown own your small farm: metal, clothing, medicine etc So you will have to start trading with others, those goods you're now trading have effectively just become money, so you gained nothing from all this. Either that or you will eventually revert back to the stone age on your wee block of land.	1101 (13337)

OK.	Agent_24 (57)

That way you can produce high quality organic food - meat, fruit and vege - which you can then sell at a premium over non organic produce as long as your organic stuff meets the required standards and is well presented to the customer. I'm not a fan of communism or artificial trade tariffs which only serve to over inflate prices and encourage inefficient production methods.	Webdevguy (17166)

The problem with organic farming, is living with the sins of the previous farm owners . Its now just too late . As organic farmers find out when their produce is tested for residues, heavy metals(cadmium) etc . . waikatoregion . govt . nz/Services/Publications/Technical-Reports/TR-200551/" target="_blank">www . waikatoregion . govt . nz Just how long before NZ produce is declared to tainted to exported to 1st world markets ?	1101 (13337)

I'm with you in principle but in the real world organic farming is not successful. Since the Global Financial Crisis, the sale of organic produce in Europe has dropped off 25%. You'll recall Fonterra stopped buying organic milk because there wasn't enough demand. No doubt some farmers survive through local markets but its hard work. The world's food production has doubled over the last 30 years which has saved hundreds of millions of people from starvation. The ecological price for this is the use of herbicides, pesticides and genetically modified crops. We can oppose this but try looking a starving person in the eye and explaining they can only eat organic food - which unfortunately ran out months ago.	Winston001 (3612)
