Perennial polyculture food forests built from as many species native to the local environment as possible. Processed and preserved nearby using renewable off grid energy sources including cellulosic ethanol produced from organic waste products. Edit: You can't separate the "concerns about monoculture" from "efficiency" (whether that means outside energy inputs or calorie production or whatever). Every plant/animal species has its own specific advantages, nutrient needs, seasonal cycles, etc. If you use a monoculture then you are necessarily missing out on capturing some advantages (e.g. sunligh) and creating a dependence on outside inputs. Polycultures create a holistic ecosystem that can optimally partition the available sunlight, soil, and water; create mutually beneficial feedback loops, and foster the diverse microbial & pollinator populations necessary to sustain plant life.
