don't food producers grow stuff closer to the population centers??

How about your back yard? Or your front yard for that matter.

Been doing that, here's last summer effort:

This early spring, the front yard looks like a broadbean & rocket
factory. Other stuff: shallots, lime & apricot trees, lettuce, endives,
peas, broccoli, spinach, chard, early potatoes. Up the back: carrots,
bok choy, garlic, parsley, chicory, more spinach, peas & various
herbs.

More stuff to be planted soon for spring/summer.
