I could see it if we used aquaponics, vertical gardening etc. but I guessed by the comments you are not talking about using either of those.

Scottish crofter did so for hundreds of years before the clearances, they farmed on a lot less, a `Rig` was an area of about 75 meters by something like 150-200 meters and each crofter and his family were expected to make a living from that land, swapping `Rigs` between crofter every year so that the best and the worst land were not always held by the same families
