The main problem is that you can’t change the kind of system that we have from within, unless you are at the top. It’s designed that way by those at the top, and is decorated with PR goodies that make everything sound fine – “democracy”, “free market”, “green revolution”, etc.

The Alternative System will have to be built, and ran parallel to the existing one that we all live in. Every individual component must be represented in the AltSys, not just agriculture. You will have to work with many other groups outside of that part of society in order for this to work. Once this new system is set up and running, even in small scales, people will naturally switch over if it is the superior system, and can provide them with similar quality of living, etc.

You spoke about the financial hardships you’ve had, and that nearly everyone has. You must adopt the parallel alternative to privately held central bank issued fiat currencies too: cryptocurrency. Yes, at first we will all have to do both, and that is not so convenient. However, you cannot use their system for everything else other than your own area of interest. The “market-state” economy must be replaced with something better. The distributed and decentralized Attention Economy is the likely candidate.

These are a few of the additional steps necessary to succeed.

(Altho I am sure some people at Monsanto think differently. People gotta have jobs. I worked for a subsidiary of Mobil once.)
