Per capita, people in developing countries consume a small fraction of the amount of meat that people in the developed world do. That amount is growing rapidly as they gain wealth, so in the future much more land will need to be devoted to growing animal feed like corn and soybeans.
That said, this article has to do with vegetables which require much less land than animal feed crops. Its unlikely that they will be a major stress point in the future food system compared with commodity crops.
