"Those families will be fortunate who, in the last days, have an adequate supply of food because of their foresight and ability to produce their own." (Ezra Taft Benson)
We need to build skills.
As much as I hate gardening, there is more to gardening than putting seeds in dirt. So there is a large learning curve. Take time to learn this skill. It is a try and fail thing too - what works, what doesn't.
I am here to say, I do not know it all for sure, I am still on the learning curve.
The weather makes a huge difference and pests - there's so many moving parts.
What skills are you working on? Let us know in the comments below!
Making bread is one skill that I think is at the top of the list. "Knowing how" is a skill you will have forever and you can make so many things.

https://frugalmeasures.blogspot.com/2017/08/monday-message_28.html - learning to can is up there too along with all ways to preserve foods.
https://frugalmeasures.blogspot.com/2019/12/monday-message_9.html - Sewing is huge. You can mend and remake clothing as well as making your clothing. Learning to knit and crochet are very helpful as well.
https://frugalmeasures.blogspot.com/2012/03/preserving-your-childrens-artwork.html - learning to embroider to decorate your home or useful things for your home dish towels and curtains and on your clothing I even have used to hide a hole in clothing or a stain that wouldn't come out. In this case, I traced off my children's artwork and made pictures of their artwork.

I would say that it takes skill to use what you have. Here, I used a bowl for a yarn bowl.
So look around your house and find different uses for things. You will be amazed at what you find and could very well start a trend using something you already have in a different way. Make it a game and see what you can do.
Along with that, learn to be content.
