Diet on a Large Igneous Province

A large igneous province is a very large area that has been covered in igneous stone due to some catastrophically large volcanic even or something similar.

In my story, a large, futuristic, city has been built in the middle of an igneous sheet due to it being a rich mine of thorium and other valuable minerals. I image the igneous plains still being fairly young (only a million years or so), and thus more or less smooth instead of mountainous.

With a population this large on a not-very-arable landmass, what would their diet be like? The technology level for this society is interstellar, but there's no teleportation or any mode of instantaneous travel to go to a more fertile continent or planet. If they wanted to have at least a somewhat self-sustaining city, what could they do to get food and what kind of food would be the most efficient for them?
