Food Prep, seeds & growing after SHTF!

So, the SHTF and a couple of months have gone by, you have survived some looting & have made it to your bug out location. Your plan is to hunt and grow your own food for yourself and your family. This is some thing that I had never really thought of but, how much land does it take to grow enough food to sustain a person? How many growing seasons will you have in your bug out location? Well, according to a method called "BIO-intensive Gardening", which is the idea of John Jeavons, it will take approx. 8,000 sq/ft. That's 4,000 sq/ft for actual growing space and 4,000 sq/ft for pathways & access. So with an acre of land equaling 43,560 sq/ft, you could support a family of five on an acre of land. This is just a best case scenario of coure, but it does give you a good starting point and something to think about when planning your growing location. Good luck too everyone.
