Even when you don’t have in your name you can lease from your village.
There are crops that can be planted and one will outsource the operation of the farm to capable hands. At the end of the period, You get your returns, both parties smile to the bank. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not proposing that you become a farmer. Although hunger affects everyone despite their social class. There are crops that you can plant once in awhile you pop in to see how they’re doing. To take this trail, make sure it is a medium or long term crop so that you are not overburdened visiting the farm.
