During the sixties and seventies, massive famine due to our dwindling ability to feed ourselves was supposed to be just around the corner.

Make no mistake, there have been massive famines and will be more. In the early 1960s there was a famine in China in which (as the Chinese government admitted long afterward) some 30 million people died. Although this figure greatly exceeds the death toll of the Holocaust, I am convinced it's well short of the truth. This was not caused by overpopulation; it was caused by Communism.

Excellent point.

I won't be surprised if there were more famine. And look at the threat of bird flu. If that takes hold, many could die.
