I submit that there would be some initial weeping and gnashing of teeth, but then human ingenuity would kick in and we would muddle through.

Ingenuity >>> Chicken Little

To some extent I agree with you but it won't be quick. Poor people will suffer the most. That ingenuity might not come for years, people would suffer before new food arrives.

I am probably unusual because I bought 90 days dried food supply for my family in an emergency. But almost all the food I have and eat normally was bought in the last month, except for a few canned goods. I think most people in the us would run out of food in a month or two at most.
