I've heard about a trend of people growing their own food and becoming more self sufficient. This trend will probably benefit Upstate New York because most of the western United States has suburbs with very small backyards with little room to garden and be more self sufficient. Also, the western United States, with the exception of Seattle and Portland, Oregon metropolitan areas, has low rainfall to help the garden grow.
The abundant rainfall and the large yards in the suburbs could lure more people to the Great Lakes area in the future.

Just started a garden this year. I didn't have much time, and I was late getting planted, but I grew some pretty great potatoes, peppers, carrots and strawberries without even trying. Next year I'm adding 3 raised beds

The part I bolded gives it some appeal to me--maybe I'll give it a shot next year, heh. I've always been deterred from gardening by the presumed time commitment.
As for the OP, this is the first I'm hearing of such a trend, and I'd have to see some data to believe it even exists.
Lol
Know how many people go all in on the new garden trend and throw in the towel?
It’s not extremely difficult, but it does take time and effort. Some people have neither.

I'm going to guess preppers, survivalists, and also people wanting to save on groceries
