I think it's also worth noting that one of the charachteristics of Hobbits is that they are simultaneoulsy a natural and a productive people. They like farming and trees and gardens and growing and making things, but crucially they enjoy doing it in a way that doesn't damage their environment. Some of their power may lie in that. In their ability to work with and live in harmony with their particular environment. Considering the other environmental messages I don't think its a stretch to say that that ability wold have been considered powerful.

It is of "another kind" - it doesn't involve force, but rather the opposite.
