Kibbutz

Hello everyone. I'm a little late to this party but I figured I should talk about what I'm doing, since I'm the only one doing it. I'm planning on writing my paper on communal farming.  A communal farm is exactly what it sounds like. It's a community based on farming.  How it relates to the government and politics, I'm not sure.  But I'm fairly certain that if everyone grew their own food, it would solve a lot of problems, spanning from world hunger to obesity. As I was researching, I came across something called a kibbutz.  A kibbutz is a communal farm in Israel.  Before Israel was a country, it was a part of Palestine. For a time, Jewish people were moving back there and creating kibbutzim (that's the plural form) and successfully sustaining themselves on agriculture in a hostile environment, and even eradicated malaria where they farmed.  Interesting stuff.  So now I'm sort of investigating how the government is involved with these farms and how feasible this thing really is.  Historically, stuff like this doesn't work.  But somehow this is still a thing. Check this out.
