Not sure how you can call that 'micro'...
That is more than the median surface area of farms in my country, and that was the average surface area 20 years ago before some capitalistic movement to build big 'company' farms that skew the mean. It can support a family. And I am not talking about a developing country, but about the country with probably the highest agricultural productivity in the world.
- manarth 9y agoSome interesting stats on average farm sizes in Europe (with most countries having an average size smaller than 80 acres): http://www.valtra.co.uk/1872.aspx http://www.valtra.co.uk/1872.aspx 130 acres in the UK, compared to 430 in the USA. Just 7 in Romania, and as small as 3 acres in India.
