Right where I am in Northern California. The topography is so varied and
the crops so plentiful that we needn't worry about anything. And this area
gets floods, wildfires, and the occasional quake. My home is less than 30
miles from abundant farmland, and within 80 miles are every crop imaginable.
California has so much food we export most of it.

All well and fine as long as there is infrastructure to keep the
farms productive. That means fuel and parts for the equipment.
It means electricity to run the equipment like dryers, augers or
whatever. It means modern seed and fertilizer.
One America farmer can feed about 155 people now. He fed only 26
back in 1960. http://www.farmersfeedus.org/fun-farm-facts/
