With more and more wars popping off, restrictions on Internet access being forced on people in all Western nations at the same time and all the other shit that has yet to be resolved, food scarcity is going to becoming an increasingly likely outcome. It will probably start with just intermittently not having products available, only to gradually take longer and longer before you get store shelves restocked with products of degrading quality (they will find a way). You will find bread with one of the first ingredients on the list being cellulose (wood pulp). Fruits and vegetables at the store already have ~50% the nutrients they did a few decades ago.
With all that in mind, if you aren't planting some sort of edible plants on (or near) your property (assuming you have some) and you're still wasting your soil on fucking GRASS CLIPPINGS, then you're FUCKING STUPID.
If the reason you haven't started growing any food yourself is that you're lazy, then just focus on perennials like fruit/nut trees/shrubs/vines so that you plant them once and they continue to provide fruit for years to come. It takes a few years to start giving a crop (berry bushes and some fruit trees are faster at ~3 years before you start getting a real crop, but nut trees usually take much longer). The sooner you start, the better off you'll be.
A grape vine costs less than a bag of grapes.
A hazelnut tree costs less than a bag of hazelnuts.
If you buy some everbearing blueberries, you'll have so many you won't care if the birds eat some.
