One way is to enable farmers to produce greater yields, thereby  becoming more self-sufficient and even profitable or more profitable.

 There was a point in cultural evolution where S & T seemed to take folk out of poverty. No one seemed to notice that industrial progress took people off the farm and put them to work in the factory....resulting in a shortage of labor on the farm, requiring machinery to farm and inflating the value of currency. Gradually the production of products is closing in on how few employees are needed to produce marketable products leaving Walmart-like-jobs....to be replaced by robots. There are profitable enterprises that have no employees. 

Have you considered not working as a full-time job? We all seek to have-it-all and feel-good about what we have accomplished.  That is possable with meaningful hobbies and working at it.  I raise chickens for eggs and sell them locally. Not a lot, just enough to provide fresh eggs to neighbors and myself and enough money to buy quality chicken food' When I clean the area where the chickens sleep, I have compost enough for a large, well fertilized garden. 

I have other interesting hobbies besides chickens. The more, different ways I can use to generate a little income, the better I like that and interests me in all the ways a person like me can generate a personal income.
