I’m an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I’m at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I’m not dirt poor. What’s a position I could reasonably obtain?
Look for organic or community supported agriculture (CSA) farms. In general, you need someone with a lot of battle-tested knowledge to actually do something substantial. Farming is extremely important for human ecology and done right, agriculture can actually extend a biosphere reach sustainably, while done wrong can destroy it’s livelihood. Farming literally makes our civilisations possible and will be a big part of the problems we need to face once climate change actually gets into gear and every arable soil is sought after.
