Crops can blight, animals can get diseases. I don’t know much about hydroponics but I know that bacteria are a concern. What food source is the most reliable, the least likely to produce less food than expected?

This is the right response, along with proper crop rotation. No magic single correct answer here will work.
Not to be contrary, but… Soylent Green would fit the bill.
I know you’re not really being serious, but it doesn’t really. I considered the logistics of this for an RP I was running and it doesn’t add up. You need way way way way more food to grow a human being than the human being provides in food when they’re dead. At most, being very very generous, you could meet 1% of a society’s food needs with cannibalism. And that’s a really high estimate. It’s really more of a special treat than a daily diet!

Pretty sure that’s actually just a reference to the film Soylent Green…
They’re making our food out of people, next thing they’ll be breeding us like cattle! for food!
But what happens when covid kills 75% of your long pig stock? Thousands will starve, millions will die!
