Would the forests really be cut down to be turned into farmland? As the population decreases (VERY rapidly in most cases) available growing land will become free. Cutting down trees might yield firewood in a year or so (green wood doesn't burn too well), but you've still got the stumps to deal with. There's also the established infrastructure for the fields and gardens such as irrigation channels, pipes and so forth.
