Many years ago I saw an article about someone who had made a scale of 1-10 to provide an idex for each crop in relation to the yield vs. the amount of land. It considered time if I remember correctly. I wish I had saved it.

1 on the scale was for crops that had highest yield per space per time,etc. and 10 the worst. Guess what was 10: corn.

Most of the world is fed using crops originating in this hemisphere!
