The founding fathers thought of that already. 2nd and 4th amendments are good starting points for reading material.
Agreed, sweet potatoes and avocados do well here. Grow many varieties of avocado that fruit at different times of the year. Same thing with bananas. Irish potatoes can do okay in the winter. Corn has less pests in the cooler months. Though in a SHTF scenario growing "organic" is probably the least of your worries. They used to grow a lot of rice on the BI back in the day. We keep intending to try growing it in kiddie pools but it's an experiment that keeps getting pushed back. If I remember correctly one kiddie pool can make 12 pounds of rice but I don't remember if that was per year or per growing season. A lot of the invasives can be eaten by both humans and livestock.
