Never underestimate the power of TECHNOLOGY to help humanity. Case in point, in the 1700s Thomas Malthus predicted that food production would be outpaced by humans' rabbit-like ability to breed. He was WRONG. The green revolution in the 20th century exploded the Earth's carrying capacity. Also, new work with ALGAE and fast growing food sources might result in another huge boost to food production. See Red Algae for example http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-red-algae.htm
