We might be able to combine the Camp in a Box with a Farm in a Box idea... once the containers have been emptied, they can be converted into a hydroponic garden. All you'd have to do is have equipment stored in the cache complex, with a 'snap-together' type set up that would allow even unskilled labor to put everything together.

This would allow the pre-stored food supplies to last the three month time it takes to get regular agriculture on its feet. And after this period the hydroponics can be used as a greenhouse type arrangement to grow food year round.

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
