There are some truths that when you think about them, they can inform your actions. The biggest one is that there is enough food that no human should go hungry. There are enough resources so that everyone can have shelter. The fact that we have hunger and homelessness is a direct result of billionaires and the lack of will to fix distribution of the food and houses. It is a direct result of greed. -> more #NoBillionaires #hunger #homelessness #taxbillionaires

@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)

How many acres can one person farm?

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...

@ketmorco — so there is enough suitable land for everyone on the planet to have 530 acres to use? And how much is going to be left for wildlife?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post reply with so much naivety and privilege rolled together.

@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.
