Agreed

Besides in the more agrarian economies, having smaller farmers markets, with higher prices but ultimately no regulation would build the local community up... People could trade foodstuffs outside of the US dollar for local currencies they set up, barter or with cryptos they could pick up and start using.

What's illegal about growing food and bartering it with neighbours for other foods we might want?

I grow squash but I want potatoes, somebody else grows potatoes but they want green beans, another yet wants squash but grows greens beans...

Trade-up!

Local currency or crypto can smoothe over the rough edges
