the earth's human population is increasing from 6 to 12 billion (where it is expected to stabilize in 2050 or so).
The changes in agricultural technologies that have made this possible have used up just about all the spare capacity, without further illeffect (forests etc).
(Let's leave land degradation out of it.)
And we have the leadership we do.
Cheerful stuff.
