Notes -
I'm not so sure that a multiple-choice framework can really work for something like this, there's such a huge variety of possible positions.
I'd start by doubting that food insecurity is a meaningful vulnerability in the modern era. It seems highly unlikely that anyone could maintain a shipping blockade against a first-world island nation for long enough for food supply to actually be an issue with a reasonable stockpile in place. Even if you had perfect food security, wouldn't shortages of something else start to hurt almost as much soon enough anyways?
If you had to, though, I'd say you should rejigger the property / tax laws in order to make it reasonably profitable to produce and sell local food at a price competitive to imports with modest tariffs.
