Have you actually tried to grow stuff?
I grow a lot of stuff and have for years and it’s an excessive amount of labor, you only get certain food during certain times of the year, sometimes for only for a few weeks, and that’s assuming you don’t have losses due to pests.
Agriculture is best left to the professionals for feeding societies.

Also having some long-term food storage and water on hand is a great way to weather unexpected circumstances. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing. It's sort of like having a generator or battery storage for backup power... If everyone had it, the whole grid (or food availability) would be a lot more resilient. Imagine if all of Ukraine's residents had plenty of food and water in their homes for the next 2 months. That would be huge.
