Peasant is the most useful job. Like leader or architect, this is a general job. In poor countries, peasants are good-for-everything in the countryside environment. They build their own house without an architect, but thanks to the solidarity of family, neighbors and friends.
Peasant is a very physical job. For this reason, it has often been regarded a negative way, pushing them into negativity. On the contrary, I think it should invite us to even more respect.
In Africa, when animals drink in a river, nobody kills nobody. But when they go in the savannah, predators will eat their prey (the worst being dry desert). Polemic texts are always the longest, this is why this introduction is so long. Holy shit.
Buddha was shocked to discover the relationship between eater and eaten, proving that reality was not perfect. I wish deep inside me that the Universe were only filled with love !
I shall not write about the meat systems, because this text is addressed to a green audience. I shall neither write about the wild systems, because they belong to a higher level.
I shall write about the agriculture system. And it has to be organic, naturally.
Why ?
On one side, industrial agriculture has a better individual efficiency. However, industrial farmers are always fucked by the system, because they lose money.
Industrial farmers have debts, even if they do their best. The system fucks them every day. There have been a lot of suicides in India, because farmers could not make both ends meet. An Indian farmer was the winner of all industrial agriculture competitions, but he said : "I was a loser.". Because he was losing money. He has solved this problem by going into organic agriculture 1Solutions locales pour un désordre global, Coline SERREAU, 2010.
Industrial agriculture abuses of pesticides, that kill the microscopic creatures that naturally fertilize the soil. Then it abuses fertilizers. They are made with petroleum. Once petroleum is finished (around 2050), game over 2Solutions locales pour un désordre global, Coline SERREAU, 2010. They will just fall in their own trap.
On the other side, organic agriculture has a better surface efficiency 3Demain (movie), Cyril DION and Mélanie LAURENT, 2015. It suits well to autonomous living. You need to understand that the world is made of affinity systems. The city and the countryside are opposite systems, each one with its own affinities.
Organic agriculture is the only one that is sustainable.
It will be hard to replace money by natural resources. However, you will eventually win. Because the crisis will hit stronger in the city. Geronimo, a native American chief, said :
"Only when the last tree will be cut down, only when the last animal will be killed, only when the last fish will be caught, only when the last river will be poisoned, only then will you know that money cannot be eaten.".
Our ancestors honored the work of the earth, of female essence, and the rain from the sky, of male essence. They were impressed by the abundance and the fertility of their agriculture work, if successful. They were all doing organic agriculture.
In my opinion, the part about autonomous agriculture is the one that deserves the most development. I shall write only about very basic stuff.
Hang on. Organic agriculture is hard word. But this is the price you pay for your freedom.

1- Seeds
Wild seeds are a natural treasure. Imagine. 1 seed grows a plant that makes 10 seeds. The next generation, these 10 seeds make 100 seeds. The next generation, these 100 seeds make 1,000 seeds. This is an explosion of fertility.
Let's do some math. Let r (like ratio) be the mean production of seeds in 1 generation by 1 seed. Let n be the number of generations. Let sn be the number of seeds at n.
sn = s0 x rn.
This is a geometrical sequence.
Actually, such a thing only occurs in free space, with an infinity of resources, without any competition.
GMO seeds make no seed the next generation. For this reason, industrial farmers always have to buy them to the labs. You will not fall in that trap.

Organic seeds are fertile. They cost little money, and produce a lot. One of the best investment you can make in your life.
2 - Fertilizer
The best fertilizer is not the one you expect. It's made with urine and excrements.
And it doesn't stink ! You just need to add sawdust.
The most modern toilets are actually compost toilets.
They are dry, in order to save water 2Construire des toilettes sèches à compost, Patricia BEUCHER, Ulmer, 2017, p. 10, but also to avoid polluting the water downstream.
They separate excrements and urine. When excrements are mixed with sawdust, there is no bad smell, but a slow reaction that makes compost, a natural fertilizer. About urine, when mixed with water, you have an efficient fertilizer 3Construire des toilettes sèches à compost, Patricia BEUCHER, Ulmer, 2017, p. 104. This fertilizer is so powerful that you should use it only on a well grown plant, otherwise it will destroy it. Besides, pure urine is a natural herbicide 4Construire des toilettes sèches à compost, Patricia BEUCHER, Ulmer, 2017, p. 103.
When farmers get autonomous in seeds and fertilizers, things become much easier 4Solutions locales pour un désordre global, Coline SERREAU, 2010.

3 - Space and time
1) Space
Agroforestry is an advanced form of organic agriculture. It's based on the idea of mixing trees with other cultures. The trees produce leaves that fertilize the soil. I suggest you avoid conifers because they attract bad species like pine processionary, but also because they play a selfish game, acidifying the soil with a kind of slime, allowing no tree except conifers.
The idea is to use the maximum of space-time. Mixing small cultures like potatoes, medium cultures like beans, and tall cultures like trees, takes fully advantage of the space.
Different species should be mixed, to put natural barriers to predators. Organic agriculture prefers the harmony of polyculture, with no predator proliferation, to the uniformity of monoculture, offering free space to a specific predator and requiring the use of pesticides.
Do you understand ?
I am a scientist, I know things are clearer with a good figure :-) .
Monoculture offers a free space for your crop's predators. They will proliferate, and eventually, you have to use pesticides, otherwise they eat everything.

You also need to understand that melliferous flowers ARE productive crops. They contribute to attract bees, butterflies, that will pollinate your crops and help them to fully develop. Not roses, because pollinating insects prefer simple flowers 5Le petit Larousse des Abeilles & de l'apiculture, Fergus CHADWICK et al., Larousse, 2016, p. 79.
If you combine agroforestry with space optimization, polyculture, melliferous flowers and irrigation, you can get the following geometrical organization.
The best use of space combines with the best use of time.
2) Time
Sometimes we are tempted to let Nature do. Actually, the plants grow on their own, so do we really need to work so much ? If all plants of the garden are replaced by organic productive plants, is most of the work done ?
There should never be naked soil on your garden. Each crop, once harvested, should be replaced by a new one.
For example, first, you make carrots. Then, you make potatoes. Then, you make cabbage. This is possible within one year.
Remember to store resources to pass the winter.
