Is that intended as a sugar-coating?

Let’s not sugar-coat it: “more time securing your food supply” is what’s going to happen. Industrial agriculture *must* go away. That either leaves a lot of people starving, or a lot of people doing subsistence farming — probably both.

It may well be that Soper means that families will have “more quality time” as they all work together in their extensive gardens. But her publisher has apparently removed most of her works from archive.org, so I don’t know.

Does she address the huge need there’s going to be for more agricultural labour?
