Are you suggesting that people growing food for themselves could somehow serve the same function as basic income?

Will we need carbon taxes for that?

Because, we have labour intensive crops rotting in the fields, when prices are low, because harvesting costs too much (when prices on strawberries is low; or migrant workers aren't available).

I'd like to see math where growing your own crops out performs a job at seven eleven.

Note. I think it can be a great stress relief and a great hobby. But the economics of it, seems sketchy even if we had aggressive carbon taxing (you can't build a garden without materials).
