I do not understand long term storage of more than one year of food. If things are bad enough that you can not buy food for that long, why not grow your own? Along with having a garden, I like the idea of having a stocked pond for protein (property size allowing).

One warm weather pond example is Bluegills, Fathead minnows, Grass Carp, Largemouth Bass, Redear Sunfish, optional Channel Catfish, optional Black Crappie
As long as you do not overfish the pond, it will continually provide a protien source. The amount you can harvest depends on the work you put into the pond.
"Well managed ponds not fed, fertilized or aerated should support 300 to 500 pounds of fish per acre. Fed, fertilized or aerated ponds can support 800 to 1000 pounds of fish per acre."
For cold weather areas, trout ponds may make more sense:
