What is the most stable food production method? (lemmy.ca)

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?

Cells in agar in an incubator. Anything above that scale is bound to have losses and fails. How much depend on how controlled your environment is.

Foraging if done in a low density area. Natural food sources grow in an extremely diverse way and any blight or parasite will only ever effect a portion of edibles around you.
