The question was related to crops that I'd live off. I wasn't even thinking about earning a profit.

Wheat and corn are good choices. There are really only four potential choices: wheat, corn, rice, and potatoes. Those are the staples of life that feed the world.

Are you implying most modern farmers run profitable businesses as opposed to massively subsidized frankenfood production operations?
I live in rural farm country and I see first hand home some 'farmers' are quite literally destroying the land. Most environmentalists are raging leftwing retards, however, they aren't wrong about modern agro destroying the topsoil of their acreage, to the point where literally only monsanto poison could possibly grow.

Cannabis Sweet Potatoes.
Weed you can sell, Sweet potatoes grow like weeds and are tasty.
I do have a garden. I grow mostly peppers, and a type of Onion called Egyptian Walking Onion. I live in the SW. So I had to learn to grow food in triple digits. So Im not sure any of my tips would help anyone else.

They would help me. Do sweet potatoes survive the heat? I have failed at regular potatoes.

This guy is in Australia so more Tropical but he grows sweet potatoes like crazy.

I have found plants that do well in sub tropical locations also can do well in the SW US. However a desert is different than a jungle. Heat is no longer the issue but water and humidity is.

I've read about how you can splice tomato plants on potato root systems. Might be to much work, but you could get tomatoes AND potatoes. Two crops three products....

Beginners should start with lettuce and herbs, then tomatoes and peppers and other fruiting plants. Cannabis works too but most beginners care so much for their cannabis plants that they usually fuck them up along the way. Drying and Curing is an added hurdle.
As far as only two crops to grow to live on, I assume you just mean as food direct to my table, and not to sell or trade. If so, probably sweet potatoes and broccoli. That should pretty much cover me on plant based nutrition. The cows and chickens would fill out the rest, and they can just pasture and do their thing.
If I'm selling my product, it really depends on the market, and how much land I have. Right now, probably cannabis and mushrooms, like shitake or oyster. Very high price per dry ounce, and don't take a ton of room to grow. Side benefit of having spent mushroom compost for growing the cannabis in.
If I had a ton of land...hemp and wheat.

Potatoes for sure. Humans can live just from a diet of potatoes and butter. Look it up, it's true.
And weed, to sell.

Kale and Potatoes. Professor_de_la_Paz examples are excellent; but land to yield ratio is low so not the best for small gardens. Potato's can be grown vertically or even placed on the ground and covered in straw. Freezing temps do not kill kale (hell, nuclear fire does not kill kale) and kale is nutrient dense. *Edit for spelling

FunFact: although Herr Hitler (PBUH) was largely vegetarian, he loved broiled squab and quail. That's good enough for me.

I was thinking that; hadn't seen any reputable sources but did read that someone claimed that they can if you sprout it first, which apparently increases the protein. Also, has anyone told you that you're a bro yet today? Because you're a bro.

Malting and fermenting, there are things you can do to improve feed quality for animals (and us).
I'll always be the quail bro, I just don't know if it'll be here.
