I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you're at all capable of growing something edible, even if it's just some radishes in an indoor pot, DO IT. It's probably not going to make the difference between starving and surviving, but it could help, and even if everything magically works out fine, you'll still save money.
Hell, ease up on the herbicides and harvest the dandelions from your yard; they grow DESPITE your efforts, and they're entirely edible.
Yes. Learn how to scavenge wile plants, too. There is an abundance if one knows how to recognize them.

dandelions and many other wild edibles out there... if we were knowledgeable.
Hunter gatherers will survive. And, hopefully, independent farmers will thrive.
My wife and I grow fruit, veggies and herbs, but no grains. Our potatoes will suffice instead of grains. But we also live near large rice farms.
We're on wild acreage in a rural area, so there are lots of edible wild plants, too. The Native Americans survived on them nicely.
We are storing rye, barley and corn flour in quantities. We also have a vegetable garden.
We are preppers.
