I wish to be a farmer producer of healthy food

Human basic needs: food, shelter and  clothing.
Next needs are fuel, electricity, internet and the rest are just material that are less important.

Our planet does not need more lawyers, doctors, engineers the planet is now full of tools and other material things that are readily available for our day to day needs.  Our people need food  and the producer of food.  Here in the Philippines the average age of a farmer is 57 years old and we are running out of young farmers. I wish i had the opportunity to go back to these basic activity of producing healthy food and take care of our nature. Nature farming where we can use the tricks of nature to produce food  and totally eradicating the use of synthetic and chemical farming.  Natural farming a combination of diversification and smart ways to produce a healthy food  by taking care of our environment the soil, water and its ecology.

I wish i had a farm that i can cultivate and enrich, raise some chicken that will eventually lays eggs, pigs for the bacon and ham, some goats for the daily milk and cheese  for a very good breakfast meal.  A healthy breakfast that will nourish and support a nice life style.  More livestock, poultry, cultured fish and other fruit bearing plants for the rest of the day.

I wish i had a farm that produces and had surplus for me to sustain my family daily needs like (health, schooling and other needs) and other necessities.  

I wish my main source of living is producing food, where my income does not rely solely on the wages as a regular daily earner. That we are earning just enough  from payday to payday where the big pie of that salary goes to the monthly duties like electricity bill, water bill, housing mortgage  and other items.   A life where we are not oblige to report  on a daily (8am-5pm) basis as long as you are productive in any time of the day. A work place where we can avoid unnecessary and too much politicking.  A work place where we enjoy the view of the crops as they grow, flourish and bear fruit till the harvest season. 

Retirement at the age of 60, i dream of retiring earlier where my body is still capable of doing more work and attending to things that i wish i can do now.  Things like roaming around a farm(wish i had now), observing everything as it happens on the field from planting up to harvesting. Helping the ecology to balance itself and watching the nature mystery as they happen.
