I did a little thinking along these lines in a piece called "The Myth
of Self Reliance"
http://www.patternliteracy.com/selfreliancemyth.html
I don't know anyone who is growing all their own food. Or even most
of it. Veggies, yes, but that's only about 20% of your calories.
think the "how much land" question for an individual is mostly
fantasy, or an academic exercise. Interesting, but not put into
practice. It's not how we're going to solve food security.
