Out of the fire and into the frying pan..

What makes you think that "profit motive" or "regulatory capture" will be kinder and more gentle with this approach?

For hundreds and thousands of years Indian farmers had a version of "income sharing". You should research how it went. And please don't respond with "Sure they fucked up but WE will build a better system this time around"

Do you have a source for this history of income sharing? Just trying to learn more.

S/he is referring to tenant farming and sharecropping, if you search those terms you can read more about it.
