People here are definitely claiming exactly that--that yields aren't really higher, we're just charging more for food.
Leaving that aside, crop yields, by weight, have doubled or tripled for a bunch of food staples in the time frame of this chart, and this chart also shows land used for agriculture going up for most of the run.
