Weka posted:What sort of magical dairy farm has excess manure? You typically apply nitrogen. No access to utilities, have to deal with human waste somehow, composting is best. The world currently produces enough food to feed 10+ billion people. The problem is transportation, and getting people to eat "non-perfect" food. TONS of food is thrown out in the field every year because the cucumber wasn't perfectly straight, the apple had small bug damage, the cauliflower got too much direct sunlight and turned yellow instead of staying white, etc. Some farms only sell to one or two wholesalers. That wholesaler has too much lettuce this week? Farm just dumps the rest instead of creating large price fluctuations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8TDfjbpSBE

TheSlutPit posted:This is definitely true, and certainly bad, but it doesn’t change the fact that most industrial agriculture is made possible by (currently) unsustainably energy-intensive nitrogen fixation processes. The question isn’t “can the world produce enough food for everyone (right now if organized properly)” it’s “can the world produce enough food for everyone indefinitely in a way that doesn’t require unsustainable chemical processes”. I think the answer is yes but things have to change and there needs to be coordination and there is 0 chance of that happening under a capitalist system.

War and Pieces posted:you can make iron ingots in your backyard out of farm tools There is a guy who wrote a bunch of books about how to build machine tools from scratch using scrap aluminum, starting with a blast furnace + sand castings then moving to a lathe (hand-scraping castings to ensure bed flatness) and then mills and other cutting tools. It’s actually really fascinating how one can move from rough methods to precision tooling using only a few reference materials, such as a flat piece of granite. He cheats a little imo but overall it’s well within the range of a dedicated diy enthusiast.

Not a great system. But there are hopeful signs that the region may be starting to change course." They make a lot of corn and soy beans and neither is eaten by anybody.

Looked into aquaponics briefly but IIRC it's tough to do if you live in a place where it freezes in the winter. Big in Australia though

Breeding animals is a mostly unnecessary step in food production, we should probably scale down on it. But also, I like having a society why where not everyone has to make food. Like, maybe I could do something useful like building guillotines while someone else grows the wheat? Maybe some system where I get what I need and do what I can?
