Most of the people in my area that live here year round have decent sized gardens. Here in Canada I live in a lakeside community quite a distance from any city. The gardens definitely supplement crap we get from the grocery stores.
At my place in Mexico a short walk takes me to a number of little abarrotes (little family grocers) where everything is local and nutritious.
I agree that corporate farming has negatively affected the quality of produce and the fact that stuff is picked very early and transported while ripening has definitely decreased the taste of fresh fruit and vegetables.
For us gardening and bartering for produce locally seems to work.

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
