Haram is an Arabic word meaning unlawful or forbidden. Concerning food in Islam pork and its by-products, alcohol, meat of dead animal, animals slaughtered in a name other than Allah(swt), blood and intoxicating drugs are all haram.
If there is no other food available for your survival you may eat some just enough for your survival.
Allah(swt) says,
He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.(2:173)
