Do you understand what you are advocating would bring great misery to the community you visited.

More positive changes would include the reintroduction of grazing animals in a mixed agriculture setting while banning or at least strictly controlling confined animal feeding operations, or CAFOs. So would setting up markets to sell local and regional food.

The market for grass fed beef is tiny and none to speak of for pork. Eggs from free range chicken, really? Local and regional food markets, the population density is too low to support those markets. You will decimate there incomes and banish many businesses in communities already under great stress. There is not enough manpower in those communities to support less mechanized non factory farming and nobody wants those manual labor farm jobs anyway.
