Excellent point and one more reason to learn how to grow your own food at home. Whatever unfolds will happen, but having the skills to remain off the grid when it gets ugly will likely save the life you, your family and even your neighbors.

That would be an excellent point except it takes on average 3.25 acres to sustain a person. That's over 700k sq ft of arable land for my household alone. Even with vertical planting, 16+ acres well beyond my current plot.

Look up videos and channels dedicated to homesteading. I am truly impressed at how high tech harvesting has become. I know a great channel with a family that specialized in living off the grid, growing all their food for the entire year without outside help. There's an entire community of these people in basically every video sharing site, so once you find them there's dozens of them to learn and share ideas from.

The one I watch uses jarring to preserve crops as foods year-round. I know it technically isn't OFF the grid, but glammed up farming has many ways to produce foods including freezing. The space does add up in some form however, so I do agree with your assessment.
