The biggest challenge for me in adopting an agrarian lifestyle is the time commitment that comes with a focus on subsistence farming. Being a senior in high school, the amount of schoolwork I get takes up a minority of my time once I get home from school. Not to mention the work for clubs and extracurriculars that also take up a significant portion of time. At this moment I know I along with many other high schoolers don’t even get the recommended hours of sleep because of our workload throughout the day, adding on the responsibility of growing our own food and tending to our own farms may just not be realistic.
