    The thing is, you can’t source enough local produce to support any significant population. I live in a town of 641,162 (2021 numbers), you’re not going to deliver 1,923,486 meals a day, 702,072,390 meals per year, using only local resources. It simply can’t be done.

    Even on my property, for two people, I would not be able to produce 6 meals a day every day. I have to bring in outside resources.

      And outsourcing this solves the problem how? You’re just making someone else deal with your locality’s problem.
