Food will not be produced locally. It is much easier to get enough to eat if its mass produced by commercial farms, as shitty as that is for poor farmers, but if you can afford mass amounts of high quality machinery, you can produce more to sell for less. A poor farmer can afford a tractor, a bit of land, and basics, but not as much as a billion dollar commercial farm. And that machinery makes farming more efficient. So farmers will either work for big companies, or lose out on farming all together and be forced to change careers. That's why they're going to need government help here soon.
