Nothing wrong with making a living off of 1 hectare as long you weren’t trying to force it by doing it with sheep or sucklers.Why would there be anything wrong? one hectare with more than enough work for one person where is the wrong ?
Pretty sure I’ve seen a Country Calender with a guy from the north island (nz) doing high value crops only using battery powered tools or manual tools.
like the old market gardening which used to be everywhere but using modern tools.
Nothing new in farming.
