Some areas most likely will. Parts of India for example. That’s IMO the biggest threat of climate change: hundreds of millions of refugees will cause wars.

If long term weather patterns settle down, then that might be true, but in the short term, there's going to be a lot of crops that are dependant on having certain weather within certain times. Maybe there'll be a major shift to only growing irrigated crops, but it's pricey to shift water around to where it's needed. I think there's going to be more food supply issues than can be solved with simply transporting food (especially to poorer regions).
