This is not intended as "how to grow all your food you ever need at home".
It merely provides the vegetables.
You still have to get your grains (and therefore the majority of your calories) from somewhere else.

That house is absolutely not to scale
This is a nice sentiment, but not really to scale unless that's a kids play house.
1 acre = 43,560 sq ft
43,560 sq ft / 10 = 4356 sq ft
8 ft x 4 ft x 8 = 256 sq ft if you bunch all the beds up together
Honestly it's entire lot size is slightly larger than an average USA home floorplan, but you're not gonna have any privacy and you're not going to feed the people more than once in a blue moon on that amount of homegrown.
And you want to live with BEES in that amount of space? Yeah, have fun.
Haha, check out this guy, afraid of bees.
Am I blind, or is 4 missing?
It says in the list that there's not enough space to produce a reasonable quantity. So you're correct, it's not there.
It says there’s not enough space for reasonable quantities, similar to 6, so I expected to see 4 on there, too, but with the caveat. I see what you mean, though, and it makes sense.
It mentions there is no space for growing grains, so yeah no 4 in this picture

Yeah, would have been better to just mention it on the bottom without a number. This makes it confusing.
I'd swap the chickens for ducks and swap the rabbit enclosures for somewhere to butcher game.
I just put in a garden with 4 8x4 beds. Sounds like I need another 4 beds. This shit is addicting.
Wait until you get into food preservation!
For those civilized in the ISO metric, 87' x 50' would be around 26.1m x 15m = 391.5m²
Gonna need this in freedom units.
That's approximately 391 square M16A1s, as each is roughly 99cm long
I grew Chard one Summer during the pandemic. I had some old garden magazine with a similar sketch, but focusing on the vegetable beds. They described how incredibly space efficient chard is, and how it should be grown in any garden centered on self-sufficiency.
So anyways, I'm all for community gardening now and can not look at another leaf of chard for the next decade. That stuff really knocks the dream of self-sufficiency out of any gardener. It's ridiculous how much Chard just 2 rows of plants can produce with minimal time spend tending to them, but don't believe anyone who says its leaves tastes like spinach and the stems like asparagus. It tastes like green mush and is best chucked in the freezer to die a slow death, maybe to be micro-dosed into some smoothie.
Finally, a fellow chard hater.
I should have instead started with Chickens, maybe they would have liked it.
If this is 1/10 of an acre, then TIL one acre is a really big
1 acre ~ 4000 m²
You need approx. 1200 m² to feed a person, so 1 acre was approx. a small-sized family farm back in the day.
Where is #4?
The list says there's not enough space for that item.
Then why even bother putting it on the list? Took me a minute looking for the damn thing before I read the text.
They put it in to tell you that there isn't room for growing grain on a suburban plot
I'm going to assume there were other plot layouts for various sizes, and they kept the categories the same for each diagram.
Very few people are willing to put in the work to maintain those beds.
Meat rabbits?
Rabbits were initially bred as a source of meat, as were guinea pigs.
I personally couldn't slaughter either.
