You jest, but the Russkies have already done pretty much exactly that. They banned GMOs outright, they banned all American food imports, and they've been fairly explicit in saying that they're trying to produce and manufacture as much as humanly possible domestically rather than importing.

Agriculture collapsed drastically after the fall of the Soviet Union. Today, Russia is slowly turning their East into an agriculture power house, creating more arable land mass yearly. Russia is set on becoming food independent because it understand that almost all famines were artificially created as acts of proxy wars. It is even inviting South African white farmers citizenship to come farm in Russia. In the middle of the 2000s it started to heavily invest in agriculture. It is intentionally not reporting the large growth that has occurred while it did so under previous leaders.

Tariff the crap out of foreign foods, implement a punitive tax against large agricultural production, and a lot of the problem will solve itself.
