Which is the world's chief food crop?

Answer 1

Rice is the primary food for half the people in the world.
In many regions it is eaten with every meal and provides more calories than any other single food.

The major rice-producing countries, including China, India, and Vietnam, primarily cultivate paddy rice. 576 million tons of rice grown worldwide in 2002.

Answer 2

Cereals here in UK.

The most important of the cereal crops is of course "barley" as in "barley mow". Barley is the cereal which when malted and with hops added, and the magic booze potion, turns by some magic means into beer. The drink of the British.

A historical note concerning UK is that the Romans came, saw and conquered etc., not for new slaves, but for our golden wheat harvest. Britain quite literally can produce two harvests a year - at least that is the claim made by the classical Greeks in reference to Breten.
