You're not thinking big enough. If it actually came to war or societal collapse, it would be the cities (the uniparty globalist left) versus everyone else. Cities are quite easy to cut off and starve. Shut down transportation and trucking, and the left will starve and collapse in a matter of weeks. The uniparty doesn't have enough forces to control the cities and fight a war. Once the demand is gone, and transportation into cities is gone, there will be much less demand for factory farming.
Furthermore, once the censorship is lifted, the magnitude and number of evils committed against us will become apparent, and most people will realize how bad factory farming is. Glyphosate, and other herbicides and pesticides, sprayed on damn near everything, which ends up in our foods and is killing us. It's also killing off the bee population. Animals cramped together and often don't see sunlight, eating unnatural grain diets, being injected with hormones and antibiotics to keep them alive, which all negatively affects their meat, eggs, milk, and fats, and is also killing us. Growing soy and other trash GMO crops, purely from government subsidies, which is also hurting us.
Factory farming is propped up purely based on government funding and censorship of the negative aspects of it. Living as naturally as we can, as close as we can in accordance with nature is almost universally the best route.

No, it became the norm post-Borlaug because its efficient as fuck.
If the cities vanished, right now, 75% of the population vanished and food demand dropped accordingly, do I believe that rural farming would go back to yeoman farmer America?
No, I don't.
Oh, you'll see SOME reductions of the extremes. Fewer feedlots, fewer high density hog enclosures. But will farmers stop using glyphosate? No. Fuck no. No chance, as long as the energy industry is there to produce it.
Why? Because it's efficient. Spraying isn't free. They're not doing it because they feel pressured by demand to do it. They're doing it because if they don't their yields drop. In other words it costs less to buy spray then the drop in yield would cost them if they didn't spray. It's a completely cold economic assessment, cost of spray vs cost of lost yield.
THAT WON'T CHANGE.
At least not without a total collapse in the energy sector. Or a precipitous drop in demand and prices such that it's no longer economical to spray.
