I doubt that. Current conventional food production is highly fossil fuel dependant (everything from fertilizer to processing to transport). Earth’s ariable land and top soil is decreasing quickly. Ecosystems are collapsing from the effects of agriculture and climate change.

I forget the statistic, but humans already control a significant proportion of Earth’s biomass. This chart from greenpeace.org/…/how-much-of-earths-biomass-is-af… might be what I was thinking of:
