A web search is in order.

Food, including fish can be dried and stored for long periods of time.

Make kraut or kim chee, both the same, from a wide veriety of vegetables.
- kraut can be made from an amazing array of vegetables; fish is sometimes 
added
so this type may represent a preserved food offering a source of protein

Other types of fermented products might work for them as well.

The Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition by Mollison
any books by Ann Wigmore and Viktoras Kulvinskas
Wild Fermentation by Katz

Set up a sprout farm for fresh greens (sunflower sprots and buckwheat lettuce 
and
other sprouted seeds, gains and beans
