You are right. This is why my preps go beyond just stocking piling necessities. I hesitate to use the word sustainable, because of the Globalist use of the term.
However,for example, if I have flour or wheat to last for a year or two, logic asks then what? When it is gone how will we sustain ourselves? Can we be self sufficient?
We know we can grow wheat, because we have been growing winter wheat for the last few winters. We have sufficient land to be able to produce enough for our family, and have had some success with this.
A stock pile of food is great for short term, but should we go into a dark period that lasts a decade or more, we should be giving some thought to how we will do things for the long term too.
I really would like to be totally self sufficient, so I am learining new things daily, and filing how to info in my notebook, and constantly experimenting to see what I can do.

I have no room to grow more than a few veggies and wheat doesn’t grow here. I have enough long term stored flour (good for 10+ years) to last at least a year and have cornmeal the same way.
I bought heirloom seeds packed for long term by Walton Feed. There are big back yards of houses behind me with a significant fence between our properties. If those people left due to the bad circumstanes, I would use that yard to put in a garden. If I can’t do that, I’ll find someone close to me who has space and will grow the food using my seeds so I get part of the produce. I will figure out a way to get those seeds in the ground and growing. There is always a way.
