I was lucky to start my empire on land that produces great resources from mining. I am, in fact, the most powerful empire in my area with the greatest amount of resources However, even though I am very powerful and have the most production I do not produce certain foods very well, including bananas and other seafood, including claims and fish.

Nicole, I agree that trade is a very important factor in this game. As we know, it relates to the concept of comparative advantage as well. This is why trading what you're better at producing for other sources you're lacking (such as clams) seems ideal. I would recommend that you continue to focus on simply producing your good of comparative advantage, and continue to trade it for others. This will allow a large range of foods, technologies, etc. It can even help you to pass other countries. By increasing your production, you have a much better chance of succeeding in winning the game. Once your production becomes high enough, it will only take a few turns to produce each good in every city. This will truly allow you to dominate other countries and crush them with your further industrialized civilization.
How do you ensure the positive relationships with other nations to make these trade agreements? As the strongest nation, how do you prevent other nations from envying you? Also, how did you find which nations had the resources you needed? Just trial and error?
