Indigenous food systems are not usually as simple as to rely on a single staple crop by itself, or to use what we usually recognize as as agriculture. Foraging is a big part of diets, gathering wild plants plays an ecological role, as well as holding important social and spiritual weight.
Cat tail, corn, quinoa, all of them can be part of much more complex systems that can feed humanity, instead of trying to make new monocultures running on oil like we have right now.

Maybe I'm falling for clickbait, but I'm seriously wondering how many people it's possible to feed with cattail agriculture
