Dice, in this time period and scenario, most of the food your armies come by are usually what they take/buy from the local infidel/friendly farmers. A cheer for commandeer!
"We'll be taking this wheat, that cow, and your blood virgin daughter... oh, and we also have to salt your farm now"
I like your supplier idea, this way, nature magic isn't essential because no magic should be absolutely vital, in my opinion, at least.
What if the enemies steal your suppliers instead? I mean, don't let it just go to waste!
