Predictions of a global food crisis — that the world’s food production would not be able to keep pace with population growth — have a long history. In the 18th century the English cleric Thomas Robert Malthus hypothesized that gains in per capita resources would inevitably be outstripped by population until food supplies finally acted as a barrier to further growth.1
there is a paper called something like “biophysical option space for feeding earth” that covers that to some extent, If i recall correctly, …its from years ago. if you find it and thats not the one let me know and i will try to figure out which one im talking about when i have time
Have a look at the planetary boundaries framework, and the degree to which we have already overshot the limits for biogeochemical run-off. Really is very shocking.
