This is a sight I see many days as I walk a little distance from work. This farmer tending to his scellions. In different seasons it would be a different crop. I can’t remember what he was planting before but I know he sticks to one crop at a time... unless he has another field somewhere else.
Of course the farmer 🧑🌾 wasn’t even aware I was taking pictures of him and admiring the well lined fields of scallion. In Japan, even in moderately developed areas, farms like this can be found. Rice fiends seem to make up most of them for obvious reasons.
At this moment, as I am typing this, I can imagine the frogs 🐸 in harmony at their mating fet as I used to live near to one of these fields. It is a sound that to some may find annoying but to me it was a joy to hear. It made me realize that the summer months and rainy season were upon us and how ecosystems develop from working the fields.
@tanjakolader recent posts got me thinking how important it is for us all to be self sufficient in these times and go back to the days when many worked the fields. But right now I don’t even own a plot of land. But there is always a way as @missaj has showed us with his mini farm on his balfony ( it’s balcony 😂 that is an inside Jamaican joke).
Right now, I feel the most well positioned people for this new world are the ones working the fields and working the tech. It is literally the best of both worlds. The physical nutrients from the land, and the technological advancements of the cyber world. When I see people like @mattsanthonyit, who is living within these two worlds, it makes me 🤔, that is the way to a sustainable and abundant future.
And on the theme with best of both worlds, the Jamaican artiste known as Yaksta aka bush lord sends that exact message out there. I know the youths around the world can resonate with this one. It speaks of farming, raising animals and also talks about FX and cryptocurrency. The new era is of self sufficiency and an understanding financial technologies.
