You might be thinking Canada?  I get 3 lettuce crops a year easily and
with effort, 4 is easy.

In the links on tech items which you limited to just 1 with few
listings, they show the tech is here. It was one of several items.

Talk with Songbird on his garden. You seem to be calling doom when
there isn't any.  Food will be fine.  You may have to get frozen or
canned of somethings not in season in areas north of the equator in
winter but that's really it or pay more for imports.   All our areas
are somewhat limited cropwise so you have to grow what suits the area.

We just cleared a bushel of pecans that the neighbor's tree gifts me
with every year.  At least it's not the walnuts up the street! They
turn into missles when hit with a lawnmower. These are not isolated
events, just the products very with climate.  Like, I'm not optimal for
red apple types though Gala and Pink Lady do well.
