in Bnei Braq yesterday they held a parade and celebration to honor the farmers who kept Shmitta according to the dictates of the Torah, letting the land rest and lay fallow for the year.
yes, there are solutions and workarounds, there are hetterim and loopholes. Some accept these, some accept those, and hopefully everybody has enough to eat at reasonable expense, and everybody has reasonable parnassa for the year. These farmers chose to follow shmitta the way it was meant to be followed, without employing the hetterim, allowances, loopholes, and whatnot - they just let their land lay fallow for the year.
And thousands of people went out to honor them for it.
