I've often wondered how things would play out if everyone wanted to live a homestead life. Agribusiness tells us that we couldn't raise enough food to feed the world without intensive commodity production, though I think we all agree that situation can not last forever.
What is a minimum acreage needed? How many people can the land support this way. If more and more people tried this lifestyle would that create a competition for available space? How would a return to agriculture as a majority occupation effect the rest of the economy?
For each of the questions I can think of a dozen possible answers...just interested in what others think.
