And yet the single biggest factor in prevention of famines was the green revolution. If for every person that is born there is a chance that they'll contribute to humanity in a way that improves us as a species by a healthy percentage, as opposed to a fixed amount, then by all means we should have more people and innovate our way out of this.

The most recent book that influenced my thinking on this was "The wizard and the prophet"
