We have a billion people on earth who do not have enough to eat (living below the UN poverty line). That has to change, and that requires even more productive farms.
We have something like 3 billion more who can't afford a washing machine. Think about the waste of human potential that is.
Not to mention that we have to get it so that all girls receive 13 years of schooling (that will help with global warming, as educated women have less children and at a later date). Not doing so is, again, a massive waste of human potential.
Both of these requires more resources, not fewer. We need more productivity, not less.

It actually just requires better distribution of the food. We've had enough food to feed everyone on the planet since the 1970s.
