If you understand the point that people shouldn't be unitaskers, then yeah, more people would learn how to farm in this kind of world. More people would spend time doing waste management or construction or gardening or street-sweeping or meal delivery and on and on. Experts would have a chance to see the world from the perspective of the people who have to live with the decisions their expertise influences, and they would be able to make more grounded decisions.

This isn't about getting rid of experts or specialised forms of production, it's about freeing people to not commit to a single task their entire lives.

What if I'm a farmer specialist?

Without specialization we’re all farmers again.

honestly that wouldn't be bad, part time - returning portions of diets to home grown produce. I was really impressed with two 3x2' raised beds could grow in our side yard (the part that gets the most light). I know it's not practical for everyone, but pea-patches (communal gardens) are crazy popular here in Seattle, and i'm sure elsewhere.

A few hours a week devoted to helping the community garden or your own plots aren't a full time vocation, but return massive dividends in whatever you can manage. We got great crops of cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, strawberries, fingerling potatoes and rosemary (front and back plantings producing way more than we can use ourselves).

Garden people, it'll improve your lives.
