Step 1: Collecting Materials

The city is likely to run out of food sometime or another- perhaps you've lived off of the meager scraps of food for months until now. But now, the city has little to offer. Your only option is to farm. You'll need a trowel, a watering can, and some seeds to start farming.

Step 2: The Farming Menu

Use the trowel on a SECURE outdoor location (which is far away from zombies) and sow some seeds. Water your plants every now and then so that it doesn't die. Or if you're low on water, just rely on rain (note: It's not a good idea in the long term). When your crop is ready to harvest (several weeks have gone by), just pick your plant and enjoy your food. You can use fertilizer as well to speed up the process If farming were that simple, it'd be too easy.

The Dangers

Your immediate problem is the constant threat of zombies. Zombies can trample your crops and force your hard work (and water) into waste. Keep zombies away from crop! Your next problem is disease. Create/Start the cures/countermeasures whenever it is necessary because you won't want them. Also, try to start farming in the spring or the summer. In the winter, you won't get too much crop in the cold.
