Just throw the seed on the ground and get out of the way. It might work, it might not.
But we do know that crops carefully tended have a far greater chance of producing fruit.
We also know that a lot of the things people need are often beyond their personal ability to obtain without help.
After all, that's why we have governments...to see to the general welfare of the people so the nation, as a whole, can grow and prosper.
