The reason there are so many Irish in North America is that Ireland
has demonstrated how sustainable agriculture works under Irish
conditions with pre-industrial agricultural technology: it doesn't.
It produces horrible famine.
On half an acre I'd think it would need _very_ high technology to
produce a decent living: climate controlled lab conditions, basically;
probably with electric lighting on the levels that don't get direct
sunlight.
