In the advanced capitalist countries of the world, employment in agriculture is under 5%. Under 2% in the USA. If we cycled this work it would just be a couple of weeks per worker. I'm not against the idea, but it probably just makes more sense to focus on agricultural productivity and automation.

in china and japan i have friends who studied K-12 there and they do cleaning amd stuff, not hard labor and i'd imagine it is better than sitting a desk.

places will always need to be cleaned, fostering that in youth would be a great virtue to instill.

also as a guy i learned how to clean a bit in school bcuz i was keener and wanted to suck up to teachers

I legitimately like how Japanese schools have the kids clean and maintain the school and cycle through groups that clean the classroom each week.

It would put a real quick stop to all the school kids absolutely destroying bathrooms.

You're a lot less likely to stuff a toilet and rip the door off the stall if your entire class beats your ass because they have to clean it up.
