Answer

Could Mallorca really increase local food production enough to replace tourism income?

That is difficult because land and water are limited on the island. Growing local food production can help Mallorca become more resilient, but it is unlikely to replace tourism income quickly or on its own. Any serious plan would need land policy, water-saving measures, and support for cooperatives and short supply chains.
