There were some notable historical events in early 20th Century Eastern Europe that quite famously had an impact on how many farmers were around to farm.

The Israeli Kibbutzen cannot feed themselves, either. They rely on state subsidy.

If you can cite a collective farm system that didn't result in famine, feel free.

The Ukrainian famine of the 30s was not caused by either world war. It was caused by forced collectivization. It was caused by Stalin. It was peacetime at that time.
