Our survival depends on it.
Things you can do to help.
-
Plant a fruit tree. Yes it takes 5 years to produce fruit, but most HAO's allow them and they are pretty low maintenance. You probably have trees anyway. Why plant useless trees?
-
Keep a small garden, grow potatoes and peppers or other easy plants as a hobby.
-
If you live in a rural area buy a few egg laying chicken. They are cheap and the US post office even delivers babies.
-
Keep a bee hive.
-
Buy from your local farmer before buying from a grocery store.
-
Buy cow meat in bulk. whole, half, or quarter cows are often sold. Pack it in a freezer.

How about rabbits ? Chickens need feed, so you will need a store for that, or grow more crop to feed them.
Rabbits turn useless plant matter into meat. Also they are low maintenance, grow fast and are cute and cuddly should you decide to keep one as a pet
Same with goats. People use them for milk. I only like their meat.

Rabbits are great. They eat only grass, reproduce quick. I have wild rabbits in my yard anyway I can just eat if I needed. They don't have much fat on them though. Should make decent soup.
Goats are some of the perfect animals to keep. I can't have one where I live though. Great pets, produce amazing milk. Raw Goat milk is my favorite.
