Self-sufficient tropical diet, rough draft

My original Self sufficient diet post didn't use an awkward enough title, so I've added "tropical" to this attempt. This also has something to do with moving to Hawaii instead of northern California, I suppose. Silliness aside, I present my latest rough sketch based partly on my temperate climate draft and on my observations since then of how much we actually eat of what; and mostly on the plantings suggested by Scott at Evening Rain Farm for a family on two acres in the lowland tropics. I've guessed at space requirements, loosely based on numbers from Scott, from Jeavons' biointensive book, and from random sources online. Mostly by accident, this version has goat milk replacing 80% of the meat included in the temperate version. (I've grown enamored with the idea of goat walking through the jungle, getting a majority of calories from their milk supplemented by hunting & foraging.)

In the table below, "Cals/day" and "Oz/day" give the number of calories and the number of ounces one person would consume on average each day. "% of diet" gives the daily caloric consumption as a percentage based on 2400 total calories per day. "Qty req" gives the total number of trees, poultry, etc required to feed 10 people 2400 calories each. "Land" gives a rough estimate of how much space would be needed to provide 10 people an annual yield sufficient for 2400 calories/day using this category as a monocrop (not integrated with other foods).

Food type	Cals/day	% of diet	Oz/day	Qty req.	Land	Notes
Goat milk	400	16.5%	9	4 full-time does + babies	Integrated into zones 2&3, and walked through 4&5	2 1/2 cups milk/person/day
Goat meat	35	1.5%	1	4? babies per year yielding 260 lbs hanging weight?	Integrated into zones 2&3, and walked through 4&5	Very unsure of realities of how much goat meat we'll get as a byproduct of keeping does for milk
Eggs	250	10.5%	6	50 hens + 4-8 cocks	Integrated into zones 1&2	3 eggs/person/day. Mostly chickens, some ducks
Poultry meat	40	1.5%	1	Culling 50 hens & cocks per year	Integrated into zones 1&2	Based on hatching 50 new eggs each year to replace the 25 oldest layers and then culling 25 young cockerels. We could hatch out more eggs specifically for meat
Fruit & berries	250	10.5%	~16	11-25 trees	10,000 ft²	Assume 20' to 30' spacing on grid. Assume 1/3 lb/ft²
Avocado	275	11.5%	8	12 trees	11,000 ft²	Assuming 21 lbs/100 ft² and 30' grid spacing
Coconut	300	12.5%	5	~46 trees, tall & dwarf	20,000 ft²	Uncertain of #s. Assuming 30 lbs per plant, on 21' spacing in square grids
Bananas	165	7%	9	50 plants	7,200 ft²	Assume 12' spacing on grid, and 40 lbs/100 ft²
Nuts	300	12.5%	2	15-30 trees	11,000 ft²	Spacing from 20' to 30' affects # of trees
Starchy crops	300	12.5%	16		7,000 ft²	Assume yield of 1/2 lb/ft². Start with taro, sweet potato, cassava, yam, squash; phase out once tree crops of breadfruit, malabar chestnut, etc start bearing
Greens	40	1.5%	4		1,000 ft²	Assume yield of 1 lb/ft², between beds and foraging greens from other parts of the system.
Honey	45	1.5%	.5	2 hives?	10 ft²	Assume 60 lbs/honey/hive/year
Grand total	2400	100%	4.85 lbs		67,200 ft²

So the total land required to feed 10 people is about 1.5 acres for the plant portion of the diet in zones 1 and 2 (and maybe 3). I'm making some big assumptions here about being able to fit the chickens into zones 1 and 2 with no additional space required, and bigger assumptions about keeping goats in zones 2 & 3 with goat walking in zones 4 & 5.

I would expect to fence the chickens and goats out of about 8000 ft² of zone 1 for the greens, berries, and starchy roots.
