Two thoughts on this meme - self-reliance is necessary, and self-reliance is not sufficient, because if capitalism destroys the climate your homestead goes with it.

    I’m planning on cultivating Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii as part of a nutrient cycle, so that way even if the food network collapses I’ll be able to keep myself fed. Even if it doesn’t, I have a really good supplement of nutritious calories which will dramatically lower food costs.

    The best part is that if other people want to join in I can give them a sample and they can start their own farm. Get a pickle jar and poke a hole in the top, cover it with paper tape to allow your plants to breathe, then fill with clean water and input your culture and nutrients then pop them up against a window so they can produce food and oxygen for you. Still figuring out the rest but so far everything looks really promising.
