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.

No I think without specialization, we’d all be spending way more time surviving than we spend on work today.

And the only reason we have enough food to support the current population is massive farms with incredible yields made possible by enormous machines.

That whole pipeline of products and services is maintained by people who specialize in what they do.
