I didn't say it would be easy.
Basically, if the human population keeps growing then eventually disease, starvation or war will come along and control the population for us.

For us we just largely winge about the extra pence on a loaf of bread but for others in other countries the cost of grain determines if they eat at all.

I find myself wondering if we will one day be fighting wars over food rather than oil.

I hope shortly we'll come up with something better and cheaper than biofuels and that will help alot.
