I know that under Despotism my citizens don't produce food to the full capacity of the land they are working on. Once I switch to Monarchy, I'll get more food because now they work the land to full capacity. What happens if I switch to the modern government types? Do I get extra food production? I only know for Republic and Democracy I get extra trade arrows. How about food? I'm very worried about switching to Republic / Democracy from Monarchy in my current game because (1) I have many settlers (2) my people are on the border of happy and unhappy (3) most of my cities only have 1-2 food surplus.
Does government type affect food production?

The reason why democracy grows so fast is because if they have "we love the president" day, and the city has surplus food, they will grow 1 citizen per turn. Once, I grew 18 million people in 1 turn!
Food production only changes with,irrigation,farming and supermarkets.Government has no effect except:in Despotism,irrigation has no effect.Where government does effect it is the amount of food each settler/engineer uses.1 food under Monarchy and Despo and 2 under Republic,Demo and Commie.Not sure about Fundy
Under despotism, any square that would 3 or more of a particular rescore, produces 1 less than that total. Thus irrigation will not add to a grassland square, bur would add to a plains, wheat, buffalo or desert square.
Different government also change the amount of food that a settler or engineer eats, either 1 or 2.
