Because you have to now protect crops from the weather like Flooding and rain. This means that you would have to cover more crops grown so wind doesn't blow the crop away. You already see this type of plastic covering to prevent weeds growing around strawberries here in California by the way. However, I think you would need greenhouse types of structures big enough to withstand the wind while being large enough for people to walk around inside these wind proof structures. Also, growing food in flood plains might have to stop (even though this is usually where the richest soil is too worldwide. Another place good to grow is near volcanoes because volcanic dust tends to be one of the richest soil makers around too. After everyone recovered from Mt. Saint Helens blowing up everyone east of Mt. St. Helens had much richer soil eventually to grow things with too. So, flood plains and volcanoes can make the richest soils for growing but both have their difficult sides too.
As a result most people (over 50% of the people on earth) will likely starve or starve to death over the next 25 years or so because of this. It will be a slow process of starvation.
However, necessity is the mother of invention so I'm sure people will invent new ways to grow food for themselves too, even if it is buying land and getting a well and growing their own food.
I already have friends that have been growing their own food (50% to 70%) since the 1970s and one is in their early 70s and the other in their early 80s so organic food you grow yourself is likely going to keep you alive longer too as long as you have an acre or more of tillable land to grow your own food with worldwide and a good inexpensive water source to water your crops.
