The waste from an allotment is not household waste. The other figures are without additives here up a hill in Devon. I can do 300kg beef in 1/4 acre if I was a complete sadist and wouldn't eat that myself. As for potatoes I can get a ton off a 10*10m plot if I can get to them before the blight does - which is nearer 50 tonnes/per acre.... if you only get a ton of wheat you are going very wrong somewhere! commercial potatoes should produce about 20 tons/acre, and beef 300kg livewieght or more. By the way feeding household waste to pigs is now illegal!
