Food isn't going to be the problem in the future. It's going to be water.

We can make water, it will just be more expensive -- probably at an expense comparable in relation to per capita GDP to the expense our immediate ancestors spent on water projects.
Technology is the key to water as it was for food, and a Malthusian view of water is likely to also be wrong.
