It will develop slowly and steadily with food prices going up and upper. But remember there is a whole African continent (South of Sahara desert) that has no mechanized big scale farming. Angola alone has 20% of the whole African continent fresh water. It can develop agriculture. Same as the African Savannah in the hands of pastorialists and also not farmed for real. We would need to see the rain pattern how it will change making some agricultural regions drier and some other wetter.

A big turning point will be when politicians, who have been basking on approval rates fighting Covid-19, stare at the face of their "Churchill Moment". What is a Churchill Moment? Between 1940 and 1945 Winston Churchill was probably the most popular British prime minister of all time. In May 1945 his approval rating in the opinion polls, which had never fallen below 78%, stood at 83%. He lost the 1945 general election with Labour striking a landslide victory.

The memories of the electorates are extremely volatile. They will quickly move back to economical survival rather than physically.
