I suppose the obvious answer is to try to disguise your crops. Neat rows will stick out like a sore thumb, but vegetables planted in a more random order amongst weeds or perhaps brambles might be better.

Even just mixing up different veg in the same plot might give the appearance of wild growth to the uninformed scavenger, and some veg look similar to weeds. For example, strawberries look similar to nettles ( until the fruits appear ), and edible carrots can hide well amongst many worthless weeds including Queen Annes Lace.

I'll bet most people wouldn't recognize a parsnip top, or indeed many other root veg.

what do you do...this food is keeping you and yours alive

take over a farm ....you don't have to use it all.

knock down a few fences and make your back garden bigger

take over somebodys small holding [ lots of hard work already done]

join up with some like minded folk and hippy it out.

Once again your strategy seems to involve stealing someones preps. I can't help but think that your confidence will be your downfall, you may well be young and fit, but an angry family with dogs and pointy things will ruin your day.
