Alternatively, what I said is only applicable to a world 100% like real life, which this world isn't, so you can always mitigate the issue by having alternative food source - large and nutritious sea beasts that might be able to feed entire cities for weeks if you manage to hunt it, or some kind of large beasts that roams the tundra (reindeer is the closest RL equivalent), even some kind of cotton grass-like plants that managed to thrive during the short summer and forms a major source of food/material. The list goes on.
