LMAO no.
Its true that food production would go down, because the market demands (artificially to a degree) absolute maximum production and yields. Farmers could easily scale back their capital expenditures on everything from equipment, fertilizers, etc, etc and they would still have a harvest it just wouldnt be as big as it would be with all the additional economic inputs.
My family has lived on the central Illinois prairie since 1823, never in that 200yr history is there records of farmers "starving". The people in the countryside do not rely on city people to survive, they rely on them for technology and luxury comforts like electricity; which my mom didnt even have until 1965, and I assure you is not required to farm produce.
You dont hear farmers crying on the news about "food deserts", and "dey took our grocery store, we gotta go all dey way ova dare to shop"..... lol, lmao even.
