I sell in farmers' market. A main reason I do is to teach people interested in gardening what I've learned. I expect there will be a lot more interest in doing that this year. Today I planted 300 ft of snow peas;  for the first time I had to rake off parts of it that had snow and ice first. I always wondered why they called them that. It was twice as much as I usually plant.

The virus is not destroying food crops or sending transport ships to the bottom of the ocean. This is a logistics problem which will sort itself out in time. By all means grow your own, but not for the reason that there will be shortages.

I had to stop gardening a few years back becouse I could no longer physically, care for them properly. While some of it I have allowed raspberries to take over, I still have almost 1000 sq' that is still open. If the wife(who hates gardening) and the kid help, then I will grow again. I had flowers, vegetable, pumpkin path/gardens for thirty years.I used to just put boxes of vegetables out by the street for people to take for free. I do miss it, it would be nice to have a little something again.

No I’ll just buy what’s available.

No, I am not in panic mode.

I will plant more stuff. I always have extra. One year I took a few boxes of my great tasting heirloom tomatoes to the county jail. Instead of slicing them, the cooks put 'em in the freezer to 'stew' them later. Gross!  I guess they don't want prisoners to have anything good tasting!

Yes.
 At the very worst I will have a surplus to share or sell and my food bill will be halved. At best at least I can eat.

My advice is grow what works well in your location, and only grow what you like eating.
