If you're in a fertile area with a long growing season, I'm sure you could grow enough and have chickens or small livestock on an acre. If you're in a dry climate with limited water you may need 2 acres. If you want dairy goats or larger critters I don't really know but I'm sure it depends if you're growing their food or not (and definitely on how dry it is).
The food I grow and our chickens take up 1/2 acre here in Wisconsin, USA. To have dairy/meat goats and buy food for them, I'm pretty sure I could get by on an acre. To grow enough forage for goats would probably take a couple more acres.

Here's a helpful website and Youtube for the tropics:

I think David recently bought something between one half and one acre in Costa Rica (wet/dry tropics), and plans to feed his family of 10.

Examine your lifestyle, multiply it by 7.7 billion other ego-monkeys with similar desires and query whether that global impact is conscionable.
