“There isn’t the type of mass starvation that there should
be if the human race were cratering”

I agree with your post. On food, though, wonder if the world’s food production is becoming too dependent on chemical fertilizers, which require natural gas to produce, which means for some nations dependency on faraway, not always friendly places for the natural gas.

What would happen if the world tried to do agriculture without chemical fertilizer?

Welll, it’s a fair question.

It’s been in use for a long time.

Is there an issue that has surfaced that reveals that top soil is being
rendered useless.

Crops themselves draw out nutrients from the ground. You either have
to rotate crops or use fertilize to replace.
