On: From Spain to Germany, farmers warn of fresh food shortages

I'll grant you that for the sake of discussion (although I don't think it's strictly true), but that acre doesn't have to be all in one place eh? Every bit helps.

My sister's neighbor farmed in his (San Francisco) backyard and got about 3~4 crops a year, all year round. It wasn't enough to feed their whole family but it helped.

In fact, 1 acre is actually very difficult to get enough food out of. The more common estimate is actually 3 acres for a more varied diet.

1 acre full of potatoes is not what I want in my life.
