Jeanne, I am putting this here because I can't find your post about goat milk. Please move it if need be. Just drop the "g"! We drink oat milk. It's high in calcium & nutrients, tastes good, and is made entirely from oats.
I've never liked cow's milk, even as a kid, and am not a fan of almond milk and all the other variants (hemp, flax, ect) but I do really like the oat. The brand we drink is called Oat-ly.
I think more people will be living a simpler and less materialistic life in the future, hence the more rural setting. At the same time, everything will evolve. So living a rural life with the aid of technology is part of the picture. I'll just post a related quote here lifted from what I believe came from sacred text:
"Life will revert to simple living. However, it cannot totally go back to what we were before. We already have advanced science and technology. They will be used to ease our return to nature."
Norberg-Hodges knows her stuff. As an anthropologist who worked for several decades in the alpine region of Ladakh in India, she witnessed firsthand the ravages that globalized capitalism wreaked on Ladakh's pastoral culture.
