What can you teach us about growing the basics for self sufficiency like potatoes, carrots, corn, broccoli? Are those the crops you'd recommend?
Would it be viable to use city parkland as farmland (assuming it was a community effort that was also protected by the community from joggers) after the SHTF?
Corn requires several plants - like I wouldn’t do under 20 personally. Takes up a lot of space and requires a lot of water. Personally, I have about 50 farms growing sweet corn nearby, so I find the local farmers corn is great.
Less so if you grow the "three sisters" together like the natives did/do: Corn interplanted with pole beans (which will grow up the corn stalks) and vining squash (which will cover the ground between the corn stalks).

Corn is a waste of space and resources for small scale farming
