The point of food forests is to create solid reserves of food at local level, not to replace industrial agriculture - it's a buffer to have food growing near you, and it makes everyone safer.
The point of local food production is it is resilient. If you add local composting, greenhouses, local gardens, community gardens, local farms etc, to sustainable practice in industrial ag, then you have a model that can feed everyone with launching us off a cliff when for example the cost of oil begins to rise as supply falls or war hits in some region or other.
