As a former rural person, rarely. We assign them credit they don’t deserve since much is not fit for human consumption

and then the cities provide basically every other thing in modern life including most of the tools they use to do that growing

yeah seriously, these people wouldn't have roads or telecoms or electricity or a good portion of their jobs or infrastructure were it not for the city subsidizing them, because on their own they lack the population density to justify market capitalism providing any of that for them

When so much of the country is growing federally subsidized corn and soy, nope. We import more than half our fruit and at least a third of our veg.

With subsidies and then sell it at a profit

Some of them do

Only if they're rural areas in Mexico.

I mean, in California but yeah.

So? They don’t sell to cities directly. Food is a commodity on the market.

Brazil has two growing seasons 🤷‍♂️

for which we pay them money

Farming is the least diverse industry in North America.

Lol
