Yes, it's possible if your lot isn't too tiny or too shaded and your climate isn't extreme. Even a quarter to a half acre space can grow quite a lot, if you're smart about it. But there will be a lot of learning and the summer effort would be a major hobby for you, no doubt. Chickens or rabbits will need to eat significantly more protein than what yard waste provides if you want meaningful chicken or rabbit output, so plan on either external inputs for them or having a large enough area dedicated to growing their additional beans/corn/seeds. If your lot is small and your goal is to be self contained, then you will probably opt for being vegetarian. Study up on Permaculture methods. There is a lot of wisdom there. Corn and soybeans still pack a lot of nutrition for us, if you can grow them and know how to process them for full effect. (Make masa from corn and tempeh from soybeans.) Potatoes are another option for calories.
