I created this tool to help plan a subsistence garden for an individual or group. It figures out what and how much to plant out of given options, in order to get RDA nutrition over a year solely from the garden. There is an linear optimizing simplex algorithm to minimize either area or estimated labor. Data in is yields (based on How to Grow More Vegetables, or your yields from last growing season), and USDA nutritional data for prepared foods plus RDAs for various nutrients.

The idea is based on biointensive gardening, and is just an automated version of their process for figuring out what and how much to plant. There are currently no animal products. That would be a good addition. I am uploading a companion manual.
