Yes, Quinn was aware they were constructing both those things and they were crucial. As disgusting as anything related to a sewer could be, it was a necessary contraption for humans because it helped to keep the living environment clean and free of disease. Yet, Quinn understood what he was saying about agriculture. Growing their own food would make them much less dependent on nature itself. It gave them some control. History showed that without a growing, multiply food source, like what plants and crops provided, a lot of civilizations wouldn't have lasted as long as they did. Besides, they could work on multiple projects at once, right? She was sure there were more people like her here who didn't really know where they fit into the survival grand scheme of things. Physically, they weren't up to par with some of the other members and they next to nothing about hunting or construction. Those people might finally find their place with agriculture, if he was willing to share as much as he knew.
"I just know there are a lot of people like me. We don't know where we fit in with the whole survival thing. I think farming might be a good way to make those people feel like they are part of it," Quinn replied, folding a piece of blond hair behind her ear. "I'm sure we can find some other people too. More keep coming everyday it seems." How did Quinn feel about that? It was complicated. On one hand, the more hands to help, the better this place would be to live in, but then there was the struggle to keep everyone fed, clothed, and sheltered. So far, there didn't seem to be much of an issue with those things, but population increase always showed to put a strain on standard living. What about those who were pregnant? Outside of new arrivals, it was the next source of population increase here. It was also another reason what he said about farming made a lot of sense to Quinn. They needed a reliable, sustainable food source and growing, producing their own food, was definitely that ticket.
"You can definitely count me in and we can reach out on the network for others. With the population growing, you're right. We need a solid, sustainable food source to feed everyone coming and the babies being born, too. It doesn't have to be a lot right away, but maybe just expanding what we have so far," Quinn added, offering a small smile. She was positive they could find others who would donate their time even if they were working on other projects too. If not, Quinn knew she could put up a convincing fight as to why they should. Gathering was a good source of fruit and vegetables, but it wasn't a certain source all the time. The last thing they wanted was a shortage fruits and vegetables. That circumstance could lead to scurvy and that had the potential to be deadly. "The last thing we want is for something Scurvy to develop because there wasn't enough fruits and vegetables to go around."
