Solved problem? We've hardly even identified the actual problem.
As it it stands now farming is an open loop system and input supplies are becoming constrained and expensive. We have killed our soils and the dirt that is left behind requires external inputs to produce current crop numbers.
In addition to this, we grow a large portion of our food in the United States in areas with active droughts and impending water shortages.
Fortunately there are better ways to do things, I just don't know that we can change fast enough.
To address the greater point of your comment though, I agree.
