I’m no farmer, but 200 square feet feels way too small. Really?
Even if you just grew potatoes you would likely be starving.
So, one person will need 1 Acre (43560 sq feet) / (17.8 / 1.095) = 2679.6741573 sq feet of potatoes. Which will be 248.8872 sq meters (10 by 20 meters field).
It is either my math is wrong, or article is wron by order of magnitude
