Mostly cold storage. Sometimes imports and sometimes enclosed farmlands.

The harvesting season is still a huge thing but loses it’s importance with time. We can preserve our food with cold storage. Think them like bigger fridges, large enough to take huge amounts of food to supply entire cities with it.

Imports are also a factor. There are many places that have warmer climates and they have more sunny and hot days in a year. This is crucial to grow vegetables. In short, the farmers in these kind of climates can double harvest.

Enclosed farmlands allow you to create your own climate. You can adjust the heat of the farmland and produce anything as long as you have the right soil characteristics and enough water.
