It feels like a uniquely American capitalist take to assume these traditions will make you completely self sufficient. You need a lot of people, a lot of time, a lot of knowledge across a lot of subjects, and a lot of luck to provide for everyone's nutritional needs.

So should you even bother trying to be more self sufficient with your food? I argue yes. Foraging and gardening are fun and will teach you so much about many things. They are deeply rewarding activities that can supplement your diet. There are herbs I haven't bought in years because I grow my own. There are dishes I can only make with foraged ingredients because I can't get them in stores.

Buy the cheap stuff - like grains, starchy tubers, and legumes - and grow the expensive stuff, for example:

herbs (mint family always in pots, never in the ground)

garlic, shallots, green onions

ginger (in pots, overwinter indoors)

lettuce, spinach, chard, arugula, kale, and other greens

tomatoes, peppers, eggplant

asparagus

rhubarb

strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries

tree fruit and nuts (if you have room and time for an orchard)

Even living in an apartment and growing in windows/balcony, I saved maybe 25% of my June-November food budget. Now in a house, with mature fruit trees, eight raised beds, bees, and chickens, I save maybe 50% from June-November and 20% the rest of the year. And meals are way tastier and more nutritious!
