I think, for most popular conceptions of Elves, magic plays a greater role in agriculture than this statement suggests. While their homelands often appear natural and rustic, they are so heavily enchanted that it is possible for the Elves to live "post-scarcity" lifestyles akin to hunter-gatherers without needing to farm at all. When they need to eat, they just walk to a nearby magical tree and pluck its magically nutritious fruit that is produced in magical abundance in all seasons. Water comes from magical springs. For meat, they engage in sustainable hunts (with magic weapons).
