Over the past 50 years, the amount of farmland in cultivation in developped countries has consistently decreased. Overall yield, though, has consistantly increased. Better fertalizers, pesticides, and more and more geneticly modified foods will continue to increase production. Malthus was wrong on both the exponential population increase and the geometric food production increase. Why anyone still buys into it long after it's been disproven, I can't fathom.
