The most tragic thing in the whole story is the fact that most of today's young people do not know what a tomato, cucumber or pepper really tastes like.
Speaking of tastes I have forgotten how pears taste like Tongue. I don't know what they did to pear trees or if it is the same in other countries but they no longer have any taste here. Each year when it's their season I buy them and get disappointed again.

What options do those with less disposable income have? A pack of seeds can cost as low as $5 which could conceivably allow for percentage interest on gains within an entry level setting. If it is possible to grow $50 of food from a $5 pack of seeds, then in theory 10x return on investment becomes possible.

Sounds like a good plan but you are forgetting a few factors. First of all, you need land to grow the vegetables. If you have a spare garden with enough space to start farming its great, but most people live in big cities with apartments. There is the chance to grow some herbs on the balcony, but that is pretty much it. There is the chance to rent a small piece of land at the outskirts of the big cities, but they are expensive and there is a lot of demand for them. Another factor to consider is water prices, as in most regions of the world vegetables need a lot of water to grow. Another thing could be protection against storms or frost. I think growing vegetables on a larger scale efficiently is quite a hard job and will require some knowledge before getting into it.

It seems that the increase in the price of vegetables, fruits and agricultural staples has occurred in many countries. because recently in the country where I live now there has been a price hike in rice and several other types of fruit. almost up about 15-25% in this month alone. And it seems the farmers here are cheering because they can sell their agricultural products at a satisfactory price. But a few months ago the farmers here did have a difficult time. my friend who is a farmer even suffered losses in the previous season due to falling vegetable prices while fertilizer prices rose. But this season my friend has a very extraordinary advantage because he can sell at a high price. Maybe someday I will also go into agriculture. because I have had a high interest for a long time. but what is my focus now is to buy more land.

It is possible that it is a variety designed to be pleasing to the eye and long-lasting, but this is not something that we can notice exclusively on pears, everything, let's call it "modern fruits and vegetables" is practically tasteless or barely reminiscent of what we eat. I still manage to get pears that taste right, but that can only be found at green markets from people who produce them in small quantities without using any harmful ingredients.

As I already wrote, you and I still remember the real tastes, but today there are already hundreds of millions of people in the world for whom such a thing is not important at all, and unfortunately that number will only increase.

You are talking about just a single house. But if you consider how many homes and gardens there are in the world for individuals, if we ALL start to grow our own crops, and I mean ALL, like everyone has a fridge, everyone has a bed, everyone has a couch, and now everyone grows their own crops, how little or big depends on the size you have, some have huge gardens, some can do it on pottery, but everyone has a tiny amount at least. That means the whole population combined would make a lot of crops combined. That would be as much as a lot of farmers, even if not all of them equal. At least would be enough to drop the prices a lot considering it all, and would be great.

In order to preserve the natural taste of vegetables and fruits, the development of household plots and small-scale farming should be encouraged. Organic farming should be encouraged. Large agricultural enterprises cannot pay due attention to this, therefore, more various chemicals are used to care for vegetables and fruits. As a result, their natural taste is lost.
