Where do Orks (beside raiding) get their food? It's not like there would be Orks pulling weeds or planting oats!

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. But, sneaking off in daylight takes much more cunning.

Tolkien left a lot of economic questions unresolved. There are others that don't add up, such as the Elves living in the center of Lorien forest somehow making bread--you need grain for that, and grain needs open fields, unless there's a special Lorien grain that likes tree shade. The Orcs of Moria are hard to explain food-wise: unless they had an abundance of mushrooms and underground fish, what did they eat? The land around them was desolate, so they didn't have slave farmers to grow them food, nor did they have nearby farms to raid on a regular basis. I'm not sure there's an answer.

I believe that the slaves around the sea of Nurn...

were the main producers of food. Oddly enough, it was the most fertile land in Mordor and peopled by slaves. I cannot recall whether this was the stated source, but I do remember that Aragorn (King Elessar) gave the thralls that were freed from Mordor the entire land of Nurn. On another tangent, I always wondered why they would stay... Didn't they hat it there? Or did the Elves help make it pleasant?
Call me Rem, and remember, not all who ramble are lost...Uh...where was I?

The fields of southern Mordor are described as farm land, and so are the Pelennor fields. But money is certainly a big thing we know next to nothing about, so you are more or less right.
"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule." Gandalf, "The Last Debate."
