Isn't it obvious that the real problem is overpopulation.  Even if crop
yields are doubled using every means available, if the population keeps
growing, sooner or later there's not going to be enough food.  The Earth
in only so big.  In the mean time, there will be side effects of our
attempts to use technology to solve the problem.
