Hoarding used to be a sin, as it was viewed as stealing from those that need it.

In times of famine, food hoarders were condemned and sometimes killed.

[Noumenon]

That's an essentially communist outlook. "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." That said, preparing for the worst is a virtue, never a sin.

Now, you have to ask yourself, what would you do if people start showing up demanding what you have?

[DesertRhino]

A sin? Not according to Genesis chapter 41. God told Joseph that pharaoh’s dream meant to store excess food from the 7 abundant years so you don’t starve in the 7 lean years.

Jesus wants me to store food.

"Hoarding used to be a sin, as it was viewed as stealing from those that need it.
In times of famine, food hoarders were condemned and sometimes killed."

When practiced as government policy in the case of Soviet Union and the Ukraine, or Maoist China I would agree. (Of course, they actually did steal from the farmers, to begin with!)

Am I greedy to want to keep what I produced? Maybe the ones who want to seize the products of my labor the ones who are greedy. Are you hoarding if you grow it and can it or freeze it or dry it? No, but any weak excuse will do for the left to institute their programs. (Is it not slavery for one man to force another to work without compensation??)
