This is a good point. There are many potential risks. Changing water tables will likely result in less arable land in currently arable regions. It should be noted, however, that climate change will also unlock a lot of arable land. So there will be some migration. Further, technology is enabling more efficient food production than ever before. Grain production alone has undergone incredible innovations. Vertical farming will be the next great leap in food production and sustainability.
