Hardly. Higher temps in temperate climate zones, and higher CO2 in atmosphere help, yes.
But many warmer areas will become too warm for almost anything to grow. Let alone agriculture.
Increased rainfall is a blessing in some areas. But (increased) floodings are a curse elsewhere.
Agricultural zones will move towards the poles. See how that works out on a globe: smaller area.
And quickly changing climate + more regular weather extremes increase the chance of crop failures. Not to mention collapse of ecosystems. Or spread of diseases & pests. Or that a tree killed in a drought (or wildfire!), takes 50+ years to regrow.
All in all: bad news.
