I think the way out for this is won’t be to make people grow their own food at small scale, but to make big farms use less labor for organic pharming. Farming robots are getting better and cheaper, electricity from solar is getting cheaper, so chances are those robots will compete with manual labor at some time, probably already now in some cases.
You can buy robots that zap weeds with lasers, for example. https://carbonrobotics.com/ https://carbonrobotics.com/ claims a 1-3 year payback.
