Just don’t grow things on an industrial scale, because that is very destructive. Small and local. How was it grown traditionally, before fossil fuels flattened the land? On smaller patches. I’d probably compare it to how corn is grown here in the mountains in Southern Europe: small fields, 50x50m max. That lends itself to these fields being separated by hedges where important partner plants and medicinal plants for your fields and meadows grow, and where wildlife finds a spot to hide. This kind of small scale gardening and agriculture still works in many parts of the world and still produces more than 50% of the food (I might be wrong on that but I remember reading it somewhere).
I suppose doing that could be an important part in a collapse of the capitalist system. If a community decided to stop farmers from selling massive harvests of one crop to corporations and supermarkets, often in other countries, and instead went back to eating locally grown seasonal food.

I mean, hemp grows pretty much anywhere
