What area of land is needed to feed a typical family?

10 poles.

Standard allotments are 10 poles, or about 250 square metres. This
standard size was calculated as the right size to feed two adults and
two children.

Thanks for that.
Someone told me that the RHS had managed to do it using a three metre
square of land i.e. nine square metres.
What do you reckon is the practical minimum, given amazingly good
planning?
