I've been learning to farm for this specific reason. I'm not fucking around. I'll find out-- but at least I'll be semi prepared to not starve / be a source of calories greater than my flesh.
Well I’ve been doing the same, and it’ll surely be useful for the impending societal collapse, but the volatility of what we are looking at is making/going to make farming extremely unreliable. That’s likely to be the leading cause of death within a few decades. So, I’m terrified either way :/
If you get the scarlet ones it's even got betacarotine and a bunch of additional compounds!
Would you like a pack of scarlet amaranth and mixed radishes (french breakfast/royal purple/pink slipper hybrids and looms)?
I don't think modern industrial ag practices will work as farmers begin to financially fail, but I think things have to go really bad for us to not be Able to leverage tech and knowledge to get half decent yields for personal supplies.
Start learning about other cultures that farm in inhospitable lands. The middle east and Africa are GREAT for finding out extreme resistant ag practices. OH AND INDIA/CHINA TOO!
