Well here is a hint on how many we can feed.
If we gather all the people in the world currently alive for one of those aerial group photos and you packed them in tightly they would cover an area less in size than the state of Rhode Island.
It takes less than 1 acre of farmland to feed a person for a year that means if we put all the people on one continent (say South America) everyone could live comfortably with plenty of room that would leave the rest of the entire planet to grow food in. The reason I use such an example is to give one an idea how big the planet is compared to the human population. (I am not advocating moving all the people around or anything its just so one can see that this crap about overpopulation is one of the biggest farces ever uttered.)
In other words there is plenty of space to grow food. Its just that most countries won't grow and produce enough food for themselves.
Are there 7 billions of farmland in S. America? As opposed to acres of the Andes mountains or desert or Tierra del Fuego or flooded several months of the year Amazon river bottom?

You are right ofcouse, but, around here, most of the homes, stores and factorys are build on the flat and best agricultural land, as is the roads and airports an what have you, soon all agricultural land will be under concrete and pavement, you can’t grow good crops on rocky and poor soil, I could go on
