That is a very good idea. I've already done it once, but sadly, I lacked the investment to purchase bigger pots to replace the small pots from the seedlings. As the plants/trees grow you have to transplant them into bigger pots. That is unfortunate, but each plastic big pot is absurdly expensive here and the only option was to purchase on the internet, which turned into being even more expensive, because the transport fees.

Now I'm thinking about bottles of wine. I've heard it's a very profitable investment on long run. In fact, more profitable than assets. If you have a good taste for wines, know the grapes and the wineries, that might be a good idea for you!

I know people love plants. I did a venture a few years ago too - and I was profitable too. But I feel ill and I didn't have another back support and most of my plants died. This is very good small business idea. If you have a sunny space and a back up support as well. I would love to do it again when I have an investment.

I have never viewed plants like this and I think I have changed my perspective on it. I do want to utilize the space that we have got at my house to convert it to something like this. I would really like to do this knowing that it could be fruitful in terms of the future. It's really one thing that I would want when I have a large space of my own. Now what I'm thinking of is how I can make sure that I'm on the right track on doing this. I need to think long term.

This is really interesting IMO.

Farm for crops I think is what I would consider the most to be self sufficient in times where there is food shortage. Fruit bearing trees is one but it does have seasons which they bear fruit once every year only.

In India, we use to have cows in every home because this tend will feed us which we get milk everyday. This is going to be sufficient at least not going to be dependent to the day job.

The thing is you need a large yard if you want to have a garden to fulfill your daily life foods, if you only have small yard, your plants won't enough to fill your daily foods. If your house doesn't have a large yard, you need to buy land and it's expensive. It's just a cost for land alone and you need to buy seeds, moss, etc etc to take care your plants. It's not really that easy to grow a plants, but this is a good diversification of investment.

What you are saying is essentially: Farming particularly for nuts and fruits, this indeed needs a lot of work as well, it cannot also be done on the side lines since at the end of the day it would need proper space, Investment, quality control, making sure you use manure and GMO sometimes can be expensive

I think it is an easier plan for those who reside in tropical regions. Who have growing seasons year round, without having to contend with winter frost. I have fruit trees that produce fruit without me giving them fertilizer or compost. Sun, rain and whatever minerals and worm castings are naturally found in the environment appear to be enough for them.

Its more difficult for those in cities. But even they might drive to the outskirts and find a woodland area no one is using to stash their plants. Guerilla gardening has been a thing for a long time as far as I know.

It could also be good for city planners to include more space for communal gardens and areas to help reduce concrete heat island effect. Plants clean the air and reduce smog and pollutants. Having more of them in a city can only improve things.

You also need proper education in that regards but if you succeed you would definitely be making money in most developed countries in the developing ones most of them are farmers so doesn't really work like that.

Farming was never a bad idea in developed countries. Farmers in US and Japan are extremely rich and earn more than many top executives. But in many other corrupted countries, farmers live a miserable life. If you are looking for investment, fossil fuel is still a better choice if you can store it in proper condition. But yes, trees and plants can provide recurring returns over a long period of time. Also if you can do the right packaging, you can build a brand out of it.

Right.

It is always been part of my dream to own not just a backyaed full of fruit bearing trees but an actual farm where I become a producer of it.

Not just in nearby towns but in most cities. This pandemic has given us the thoughts of how things can change quickly if we are not prepared for the worst.

It all started as a hobby while being on locked down into a dream and little by little will become a real thing as plan being executed.

Small plants have a value. People happily give you money for small plants. Therefore the more you have available the larger your plant savings account grows.

In times of high inflation, commodities are one of the 1st places people invest their wealth in the hope of it retaining its value. While taking delivery of barrels of oil or bushels of wheat might lie outside the budget, shipping capacity and storage space of most.

We may have other options available like small plants or trees. One interesting aspect to consider is plants and trees tend to grow physically larger over time, which only increases their value. Not only can plants be an investment but they can also appreciate in value over time, earning interest.

Nuts and fruit from trees can be sold on amazon for profit. Prices are skyrocketing at the moment. I have seen lychee fruit selling on amazon for $17 a pound. It is higher priced per unit than almonds.

If food shortages hit. The value of plants, fruits, nuts and trees could rise dramatically. Which could make it a decent place to invest wealth in planning for future inflation.
