I'll be okay until my glasses get broken or stolen by one of the other tribes. I'm good enough at agriculture and general wilderness survival to piece things together, I think.
Livestock is risky, they'd get poached all the time; goats are probably the best fit: fairly multipurpose, easily domesticable, and you can move them in a hurry if you need to; cattle are too visible and take too much land. Chickens aren't tame enough. Grains are too hard to cultivate, as we'd have no powered machinery, and hand plows are pretty-much non-existent. So that leaves fruits and vegetables. Diversify as much as possible, so that if any vegetable crop fails, you have others to fall back on. And make sure that you collect seeds from everything that you grow, for next year's crops. Potatoes would be one of the best crops, because they propogate so well.
Basically, my strategy would be to loot a gardening store and then get out of the city and away from other people, keep a low profile, find some land that has access to water, probably along a creek; this will also increase the likelihood of finding game to snare.
