Farming, like a lot of the other potentially renewable resource sectors is in for a rough ride for those going along. Climate change is going to increase the risk year on year, of not getting crops off the fields. Around the world aquifers are being over used for irrigation to the point where they are drying up. Farmers are getting older if not old, because young people aren't interested in the work and poor wages, go figure. All the fertilizers, sprays, transportation, and farm fuel reliance on oil is about to run into peak oil results. Control of all inputs from machinery and parts to seed is becoming more and more concentrated in large corporations whose lack of interest in farmers is legendary.
And yet we may be some of the lucky ones on the planet because of our huge capacity. How many here would be willing to jump in with both feet and buy a farm?
