What to do when you can't farm, and are behind?

Hey guys, so I'm a Silver player since season 4, and have only been playing since Lissandra came out, so I'm not that great at the game, but I ran into a weird issue today. Since I started getting competitive I've been working on getting better at the game, primarily focusing on farming during the laning phase, typically it turns my top lane Irelia games into I farm, trade with stun, and eventually they back or I get a kill. Usually around 15 minutes or so I have a good comfortable 20-30 cs lead on my opponent. However today, I had a game where my jungler constantly pushed my lane into their tower, their jungle was camping so I couldn't safely farm, and my lane opponent got ahead. Since I didn't want to give up free kills, but couldn't farm I started looking around the map for roam opportunities or tp ganks, only to find that all three lanes where frozen at the enemy towers, and we were all behind so couldn't really take a fair fight. I found myself at a complete loss on what to do, as I normally farm if there aren't any roam or gank opportunities or guaranteed kills around. This went on for about thirty minutes, anyone that tried to farm was killed, and eventually they just grouped and pushed through our base. Is there anything I could have done in that situation to catch up?

You farm under your tower, take gromps, and counter jungle. thats really all you can do. In that situation id suggest deep warding (ward the red buff and razorbeaks). Although, if you were being camped, your jungler should have come to help. Where was he?

jungler was pushing mid so that mid couldn't farm under tower...

seriously when you have teammates like that there isn't much you can do.

As a team ward more.. If everyone is pushed on ur team including your lane and you have the opportunity to roam but you know you cant score a kill, set up some nice wards. Can help see a gank coming or maybe set up a pick for u and your team.

If their jungler was camping your lane and your jungler felt it necessary to push your lane and take your CS, you could have invaded the enemy jungle and farmed and warded it. This would have netted you some of your missing gold and xp and made it easy to track enemy movements.
