When I wrote about taking the hoe to the museum and increasing mechanised agriculture to enhance food security last week, many called asking me to "increase the volume".

Most respondents were women, of course not your usual one in the village. They were those who can afford a newspaper, farm in style if they chose to, because they can afford to pay for some labour, and maybe mechanised farming.
