I’m an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I’m at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I’m not dirt poor. What’s a position I could reasonably obtain?
You can absolutely farm in a sustainable way, wrecking the environment for profit really only came about when mechanised farming / large machinery / giant monocultures of herbicide-resistant patented seed became a thing in the last 100 years or so
Aristotle and Plato supposedly already complained about deforestation. Degradation of the biosphere (who extinct the European Elephant?) is old.
