  • We should make this more spoken about honestly. I never hear people speaking about specific crops requiring more physical labor than others by strong varying amounts

Monoculture can also be potentially to be blamed here because it could lead to a gap in the amount of work in a work day depending on the crop you do. Having varied crops over acres could make work days much easier. Community small gardens and rooftop gardens for cities would help.
