Methodology
Using the Toothbrush Principle for food, the average American eats a significant amount of food that can be produced via a small CSA operation by the new age farmer scuentist.
Gro eries are a $1T market in the USA alone.
Take the key crop that have large value, and find out average per person consumption. Start with those that have the highest value, and prioritize by ease of production. Taking this approach, the list may look like this:
- chicken - 26 chickens per year average. Take a chicken of 5 lb at $2/lb, and you have $260 per person.
- Bread - average of one lb per person per week. Assume 1 lb at $3/loaf, that is 56*3=$168.
- Take eggs, at an average of .7 egg per day - 250 eggs per year, or 20 dozen at $3/dozen - that is $60 per person.
- Take yogurt, at $3/quart.
