Hawaii isolated, can you survive off your garden?

We have a ruby red grapefruit tree that does great here. We have grown green beans, "wing" beans (?), sweet potatoes, oranges, lemons, tangerines, egg fruit, jack fruit, cukes, and I'm forgetting some. One vege that grows great for us is egg plant. We even grew cantaloupes, but they never got very big, and something went after them. But, even the small ones tasted great.Papayas and bananas, of course. We finally planted a breadfruit tree, but it'll be a while on them. Coffee plants, poha berries, figs, rambutons, jaboticaba (these I understand take quite a few years before producing).
