I think food gardening depends a lot on luck. With the right combination of plant+spot+local (micro)climate+how often you water your plants, you can almost accidentally end up with a huge amount of whatever you're growing.
And then you invest all the money you saved on food into one (1) trendy stock, cryptocoin etc. and make cents out of dollars.
Never had any luck growing carrots because our soil is such heavy clay. But I chucked a few potato skins near my budgies' graves when the compost bin was full and even after digging the plants up the first year, they just keep growing back and as long as I water them, they provide a decent harvest without any effort.
If I bought proper seed potatoes to grow, they probably wouldn't.
^^ Those points aren't luck. ^^
Growing your own food is like printing money, BUT you need to know what you are doing.
It's absolutely luck if you don't know what you're doing, which is most people. Also, changing the local microclimate is possible to a degree, but depending on how much you need to change it, it's too expensive. Depending on where you live and what crops you're trying to grow, even water might be an issue that pushes it into "infeasible".
