Before you do anything expensive/permanent, beg/borrow/buy a copy of the Introduction to Permaculture. This book is filled with fresh insights into homesteading land management.

I'm reading Gene Logsdon's Homesteading: How to Find New Independence on the Land and recommend it. (Anything by Logsdon is fairly useful, actually.)

I've homesteaded much of my life. Get a pickup first. Plant trees early. Build your soil. Build strong fences, particularly if you are considering goats. (They're the Houdinis of domesticated animals.) If you think you want animals, start small with chickens/rabbits. Animals are expensive to feed and tie you down more than you might think.

I was in a similar situation when I did my course, I read An Introduction to Permaculture by Bill Mollison a couple months before hand. The course will basically cover everything in the book. It really helped me to retain a lot of the information I was getting during the course since it wasn't completely new to me, it also allowed me to ask questions I'd had since reading the book.

Also if you have a chance to regularly visit a place working with the principals of permaculture you would get some insight into how it looks and develops, as this is the season where things are really starting to grow again.

have fun!

He did indicate in his post that one of the things he was planning on doing in the meantime was acquiring rural property and stockpiling non-perishable food, like that "flour" that you assume is so easy to grow on your subsistence farm. I think that it is way out of line to assume that he is planning on murdering a farmer and talking the farm. Hunting, fishing, foraging and a well-designed permaculture ecosystem incorporating chickens and rabbits on a few rural acres should more than provide for his needs without the need to murder farmers.

Introduction to Permaculture by Bill Mollison

Thorough of all subjects of permaculture, many graphics, design examples, charts, and diagrams. Used as a textbook for many permaculture courses.

Enjoy!

This site seems to have the information you're looking for. http://www.neverendingfood.org/?page_id=198

It covers the nutrition aspect as well as the environmental aspects. Pointing out flaws in comercial farming techniques and providing ways in which permaculture provides benefits. The population aspect only deals with Malawi. It does have more of a slant toward teaching though, which I'll admit seems to be the most prevalent type of information on the subject.

I sort of feel like I'm just throwing more information at you that you're not looking for (I'm bored at work and love reading about this any way, heh.) but this book seems pretty good. Introduction to Permaculture
