Sure you have your food stores but at some point they will dry up. By having a large enough garden and livestock program in place you can supplement your stores and extend them for months or years if needed. Easy to grow is the key. Amaranth is easy to grow..
Amaranth is also close to a super food, you can eat the seeds, and leaves. The Aztecs used it very extensively as well as the peoples of the Andes. People in Africa also grow it and use it as food security. Remember that Food Security
Cooked amaranth leaves are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate; they are also a complementing source of other vitamins such as thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin, plus some dietary minerals including calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, copper, and manganese.
