Why not use a hunter-gatherer model instead of depending on agriculture?

Depends on where you get your land. My family's cabin is in a forest in eastern Washington that could probably sustain hunter-gatherers. The Great Plains, however, probably could not (basing this on Native American tribes being more sedentary near my cabin than the middle American tribes that were more transient, as well as my limited knowledge of what grows wild on the great plains).
Because once billions of people start to hunt & gather the resources are going to be extinct in a few weeks.
