@jeffowski according to https://www.quora.com/How-many-acres-can-one-person-farm?top_ans=278151323 Peter Kaye "had 530 acres and had absolutely no problems doing everything myself. At the busiest times I plowed all night to get the soil ready for planting, as long as you have the right machinery it’s a lot of work but it can be done."
So... yeah - there's no effing reason anyone, ever, should be hungry (unless they want to be)
Answer (1 of 29): It depends on whether you consider “one person” to mean ONE person doing everything, or one person running the farm, doing most of the actual hands on work but hiring out some work at busy times such as planting and harvest. Under ideal conditions one man with big new equipment...
@jeffowski you completely misunderstood the point - we have the technology such that a single person can farm over 500 acres, which is enough to provide food for ??? people.
But we don't do that, because billionaires.
