Brambles.  They feed you, they secure your property from trespassers 
and they take almost zero maintenance (though with some watering and 
fertilizer they will feed you abundantly).

I've known others to plant bamboo, which is terribly invasive and won't 
stop until it hits pavement or some other impenetrable barrier.  It's 
an excellent privacy screen, and has many practical uses after you 
harvest it.
