This put the Malthusian ideas about mass starvation that were so popular in the '70's and '80's to shame. We now know that we can increase production through innovation and planning if we choose. The whole point of the mordern environmental movement is to reduce the world's population because (they say) it isn't "sustainable" and yet here we have proof that it very much IS sustainable.

"Did you know that total farm production nearly tripled between 1948 and 2017? Even as land and labor used in farming declined, innovations in animal and crop genetics, chemicals, equipment and farm organization have enabled continuing growth in farm output.” – USDA A Look at Agricultural Productivity Growth in the United States, 1948-2017 #HumanProgress 🌽https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2020/03/05/look-agricultural-productivity-growth-united-states-1948-2017
