“Parson Malthus was WRONG then, his hatchlings are WRONG now.”

Yes they are.

They should have studied Norman Borlaug.
“Borlaug was often called “the father of the Green Revolution”, and is credited with saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation.”

Borlaug developed semi-dwarf, high yield, disease resistant varieties of wheat and exported those varieties and modern rotation farming practices around the world.

For his work he received...

Nobel Peace Prize (1970)
Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977)
ForMemRS (1987)[1]
Vannevar Bush Award (2000)
Public Welfare Medal (2002)
National Medal of Science (2004)
Congressional Gold Medal (2006)
Padma Vibhushan (2006)
