I'd pay the agrarians a few shiny coins for fishing trips a couple of times a year.
While the simple life has its pluses, being covered in animal dung with poor medical care, while at the mercy of the elements loses its charms quickly.
There are reasons why our life expectancy is no longer in the 40's and getting out of such societies is a big part of it.
Of course I think there is a happy medium, something we are close to now in the West, but the painting shows very primitive, where the high technology is the windmill vrs hover cars.
I recall reading some piece a number of years back where it claimed the average American life style would have taken around 125 slaves to achieve in Roman times, and that village is lower technology than the Romans.
So while I think of myself as at home in the wilds, I grew up wandering local woods and fishing, I'd head to the city, no hesitation (provided it wasn't run by Ming the Merciless).
One more very important consideration. The agrarians I doubt have anything close to a safety razor. Do you know what that means? I like my women bald eagle.
