    Who has a 1/4 acre plot, and the knowledge, tools, and chemicals to grow the food? You have the seeds ready to go? You’re confident in the face of a global food shortage you’ll just snap your fingers and Disneyfy your way to “staple foods”?

    How about buying canned produce, learning to preserve the food you can still buy now, dry beans, rice, etc? And then try to see if the knowledge we’ve lost as a culture wrt subsistence can be re-learned quickly and painlessly?

    I don’t think so.
