no shit you can't compete with something subsidized lol, how is that an impressive argument?

Yeah like look up organopónicos in Cuba. Thanks to the collapse of the import market that fuelled industrial agriculture and government support of local growers, a good chunk of food in the country now comes from ecology-sound urban agriculture.

"Hi, this is Chett from the local government non-industrial agriculture office. We see that you grew 6 tomato vines this year and didn't take advantage of our program to loan you the costs of 34% of maintaining the crop, as it isn't your first year, would you like to be pre-approved for a $46.38 loan for next year? In return, we ask you to install flood barriers and have your soil tested regularly."
