Depends on what you mean by food. If you have enough time, food can be multiplied. One potato, properly handled, can turn into a field of potatoes. One walnut, properly handled, can turn into a forest.

Which is why an apocalypse bunker is a pretty stupid idea. The reality is that everyone does subsistence farming again.
Speaking of apocalypse bunker, I think the movie 10 clover field lane is genius because I used to think how do people fall for seemingly obvious cult propaganda but if I woke up in a bunker and was told to comply I probably would as well.

I think the idea behind an apocalypse bunker is it will remain unsafe to go outside / farm using solar power for a few months to a couple of years but not forever.

I agree. You have to start farming at some point.
