I now need to read and digest FF:Elves so that a more refined specific elven community can be written up in detail. Quote:
Realm Management wise the elves carrying capacity will be something like 1/10th that of humans (based on the comparative percentage of the available land used for agriculture) multiplied by the improvements in productivity (which I haven't worked out in detail yet). Add in improved hunting as well. As for TL, in a TL3 world I could see a TL 1+3 (agriculture) for the elves, with a penalty to engineering to balance things out. But again, I'll run the numbers and see how things compare with TL 4 and 5 yields etc. The whole farming system would require the following skills in the community, - Gardening - Professional skill (breeding) - Divination - Farming Those are the major skills, I'll put a more exhaustive list with the later write up.

![]() A suggestion for what would go on a character sheet, representing the unusual aature of elven techniques and skills compared to the rest of the world.

There is an article on the BBC about feeding the world after an asteroid impact here.
Long life foods are mentioned as well as some content on farming. The article also mentions Quorn a fungal based food product, and because I feel obliged to provide obscure bits of research the name Quorn is also that of the oldest hunt in the UK (fox hunting) resulting in a dispute that went to court.

Rabbits are a possibility in fairly small numbers, a richer citizen or two might keep some. The largest bottle neck in the farming systems at Western Hills is vegetable production and herbivores such as rabbits have expensive feed requirements.
Conversly having an additional meat producing animal would add much needed resilience to the food production. Rats are something as well, while not the only option available catching wild rats then fattening and observing them for disease etc would serve as a way of bringing new material into the rather closed system present.
