Nah. Some planets are dependent on food from other planets, but not all.

It is more advantageous to produce your own food than to have it shipped to you from some far off distant land. Any planet that can grow food for its inhabitants will already have been doing that for some decades if not centuries.

The Population of Earth is 11.4 Billion before the Reapers invaded. Figure that number has been reduced to early 21st Century numbers, about 6 Billion, which is a number Earth can feed now without a problem and we've only tapped a portion of available bio-mass.

Not sure if Quarian/Turian agriculture is compatible with ours in anyway shape or form but if so, Quarian agriculture ships can produce for the Turians, Quarians and anyone else who can process it.

Figure in nearby systems and supplies the ships have on board now, and one comes to the conclusion that the Citadel Fleet in Sol System is not going to starve to death.

Food maybe tight forawhile, but starvation isn't likely.
