Can you forward me some info on this?

Contrary to what you may think, I'm down to work my own single acre. Seems like a good way. I already live in rural Canada.

Land prices are much higher than you indicate around here.

For example, the smallest and cheapest plot I can find for rent is 60 acres. It's $40 per and also very difficult to access with no water supply either, hence the low price. So, 2.4k minimum. If I organized a community then we could get something done and we for sure aren't growing fruits and vegetables. But that's not what you are describing.

Where did you get your $300/acre/yr figure?

Maybe if you rented 1000 acres.

Unless you're suggesting we collectivise agriculture, then sure.

Myself commuted with a 95 Saturn SL for years out of a farm in rural Canada. People used crappy small cars for decades and still got where they need to, and today even the most basic car with basic snow tyres is extremely capable.

Needing AWD for the suburbs is a marketing myth the car sales racket wants you to believe.
