No, not comfortably, because food production is not the limiting factor in comfort. What you'd have under such a scheme are the human equivalent of battery chickens or cattle feedlots: creatures jammed into a bare minimum of space. Which indeed is not far from the current lot of most residents of most urban areas. Just battery humans, that's all.
