The suburban agriculture movement is one option.
It is however hampered by the reality that in in a lot of suburbs, growing food - especially in the front yard - is perceived similarly to hang-drying laundry, which is that it signals poverty, and is often prevented by city councils and HOAs.
This is an outcome of the sociological reasons why suburbs formed in the first place.
