Suppose there's a total economic meltdown and we're spiraled into a second great depression, but on a grander scale. How will you survive?

During the great depression, when the unemployment rate rose to over 19% an estimate of 12 to 15 million americans died from starvation within the first year. That was 10% of the US population that died... 21% of the total population were farmers.

Today, less than 2% of the population are farmers.. If we use the same 10%, that means 30 million americans will die..however, this number could be much higher considering the difference in the number of farmers we have as compared to 1929/1930s.
