My backup starch supply started as a couple of jerusalem artichokes dropped in a hole in the ground. They thrive on neglect, look like tall weeds, store themselves in the ground and don't need to be replanted every year.

Sunchokes don't agree with everyone's digestive system. I wonder if 'taters can be left to go wild like that?
