My side-project, AutoMicroFarm has a secondary goal of keeping your edible yard beautiful and HOA-compliant (if your house is in an HOA neighborhood). The primary goal is to help you grow the majority of your food in your yard).

It just takes a bit of foresight and planning!

And an enormous yard, at least if you really mean to grow over 50% of the food required for a family of four people, which will take about an acre (or 4000 m^2) i.e. more than four times the usual front lawn space in a suburban home.

Hmmm, I think it's achievable in less space than an acre. What are your assumptions regarding needing an acre for four people?
