Resources aren't actually that scarce and haven't been for quite a while. The Breadbasket of America can feed everyone. Population growth isn't really a scarcity problem, it's an organizational and structural one. Unless you think we're at max efficiency!

Thanks to (U.S.) government subsidies for farming, farmers can purchase those resources unusually easily; some argue that this will lead to faster depletion of those resources since farmers aren't under sufficient economic incentive to conserve them.
