It will likely descend into warfare as happened on Easter Island, and savagery will continue until the population drops below whatever remains of the carrying capacity. However, the warfare may also diminish both the human resources and Natural Resources and infrastructure to the point that no meaningful recovery is possible. Think TSE's "not with a bang, but a whimper".
