There's probably a way to optimize food income against administrative strain actually. It's a good little system, and it's nice how the map changes as you play. I noticed that farmland replaces ruins tiles though, but the scavenge in the hex remains. It's easy to lose track of where they are in that case.

One of my cities was located in the ruins of a megacity, full of both regular ruins and archeological ones. Both were able to be excavated even though the tiles show farmland.

You can use the strategic map and use the "resources" tab so you know where there are still ruins hexes.
