anyone ever considered this aspect?

That was the first thing that crossed my mind, the larger your crop, the bigger target you are.
human morality and compassion go out the window in time of dispare.

I would not discourage anyone from growing their own food and collecting their own seeds, just be aware that in time of hardship, people will target you for food, even if you only have enough for your own family.
