We exceeded "enough humans in the world" forty years ago. Now we're basically manufacturing food out of fertilizer, which only works until the fossil fuel runs low (or a crash program of nuclear energy, which we haven't started). The Green Revolution was an impressive achievement, but one we are not prepared to repeat.
