It's actually Brook's lack of placement in a filler episode where he interacts with the crew that really pushed the anarcho syndicalist nature of the strawhats to my attention in the first place

Onto the soul king Brook, he's just that, the sould of it all. His music and upbeat attitude is the life blood of the farm, keeping people sane during tedious work and as people have theorized for a long ass time now plants relate to sounds

Bringing us to the butcher and alcohol enthusiast. The person who'd turn grapes into wine apples into cider peaches into brandy etc. Combining Zoro's love of getting wrecked and his respect for the animals he will slay he makes the perfect match up for Sanji for making delicious booze

Sanji with his expertise as a cook doesn't just fuel the strawhats but even the food they would eat, crafting animal feed, dictating what produce to grow for the entire system to keep on going minimizing any waste, he like chopper would be in charge of quite a damn lot

Bringing us to the next member of the crew whose expertise is essential for modernizing it and bringing it to its maximum efficiency, Franky. With his knowledge on engineering he would be able to take the simple aquaponics designs and put them on steroids

Robin's expertise on archielogy bringing back ancient methods of agriculture to life to create modern better methods from, to this day we still do this via aquaponics replicating the chinampa that the aztecs did on a grand scale, and her powers being able to oversee A LOT

Usopp's expertise in Botany is quite emblematic of his role on the crew as a whole being the handy man before Franky who was brilliant at bit of everything, here he would be bringing the plants to their full potential to maximize yield and taste from whatever strawhats grow

I realize that sounds crazy as its like turning fish poop into electricity but like ... that's quite literally what's happening sorry to derail the thread but yeah ....

Chopper, his expertise in making his own medicine from scratch wouldn't just dictate which plants would be grown but the chemistry used to make the medicine would be applicable for turning fish waste and other biodegradables into plant feed and even energy (coming to aquaponics)

Another essential component to agriculture especially one in tune with the land and not destructive upon it is the implementation of sea life. Be it aquaponics in modern agriculture or the chinampas in ancient times. Jinbei with his expertise relating to the sea clearly fits this

With Nami's expertise and control over weather itself stems from things grown in the earth. Creating the perfect environmental conditions is essential for the growth of plants, its more than just feeding them. Wind itself plays an important part in growing strong plants

With the various members of the crews specialties in labour representing the form of collective knowledge needed to run a modern agricultural system, our beloved captain really serves as a glorified sheepdog, digging holes and bringing in the animals from grazing
