What is it about the world that you think can't support that? It's new territory, and it may "disrupt" the US (to some extent) over the coming decades, but China has been bootstrapping itself out of farming for quite a while already. It's mainly the internet industry that lagged the US by a few years, but has caught up or surpassed it now.

The world already can't support the existing first world lifestyles we have in the long term. We are doing a tiny bit to move toward sustainability, but if you tack on a few hundred million more people living that way, you run out of essential resources fast.
