In terms of food production it’s absolutely viable. It’s not economically viable though because farming has extremely low margins that can only be made up at scale.
Also, most modern machinery isn’t useful on a small scale, though there are some exceptions. So small scale farming will be quite labor intensive. So the OP here is kinda right that most people don’t want to put that much labor into it.
This is why I think small-scale robotics is going to be important to future small-scale farming, but we haven’t quite gotten there yet.
At a small scale you can take advantage of advanced irrigation, physical pest barriers, advanced fertilization, and even human or AI based individual plant diagnosis and weeding.
With what money. Cause your not making any selling that stuff and you’re going g to spend the majority of your time tending it leaving out external sources of income. My parents have 5 aces and are currently doing their fourth round attempt at something like this. It doesn’t usually last more than a couple of years before the effort isn’t worth it anymore.
