With vast galactic empires, it doesn't seem all that likely that every world would be like Earth, which can and does produce enough food in its own right for its entire population. Some planets, after enough urbanization, end up becoming little more than immense planet-spanning complexes which, without the necessary Applied Phlebotinum or artificial gardens, would simply not provide enough food to keep their inhabitants from dying of thirst and hunger.
The solution is to have a planet dedicated to the production of food and other naturally occurring commodities, a purely agricultural world. Or, as the Trope Namer Warhammer 40,000 kindly shortened it, Agri World. An Agri World can be a Single-Biome Planet, but in some cases, it seems more likely that the author just described the place as a food production planet and Planetville is in effect.
One problem with many portrayals of this trope is the one-sided flow of matter from an Agri World to other planets. On Earth, the population centers are still located on the same planet on the farms, and matter in food is ultimately returned to the planet and circulated around by the atmosphere and hydrosphere. When farms and population centers are on different planets, matter (whether it's raw sewage, fertilizer, or something else) would need to be transported back to the farms to avoid them becoming barren. May overlap with Pastoral Science Fiction.
Sub-Trope of One-Product Planet. Compare City Planet and Industrial World.
