None of which requires startups, science or factories.

If you put cows on a field for a day, wait three days for insects to infest their shit, then put chickens on the field, the chickens scratch through the cow shit and eat the bugs. The cow shit gets nicely spread out and fertilises the soil more quickly.

The problem with this system is that it doesn't allow rich people to screw mega bucks out of the government for doing no work at all.
