Why not anchor earnings into homesteading?

I don't want to commit to the constant effort homesteading demands. I can currently drop everything and leave at a moment's notice. I can work remotely for as long as needed. A homestead would tie me to a place.

I also like living close to the city and its variety. I don't like the areas where homesteading is possible.

I think something like that would be workable? People invest into the CU which then makes loans (with due diligence) to people who are or want to develop agroforestry/agriculture/homesteading.
