Why would you imagine there would be a situation where you had no other options? If you had no other options, are you going to wish you knew how to unicycle?
There is no way to prepare for a food system breaking down. People will die of starvation if that happens. People who have gardens will have those gardens raided by hungry neighbours, or seized by the authorities. Ultimately, the food system breaking down would probably mostly hurt poorer countries because the richer ones would divert any available food their way.
