Then you're going to need intensive agriculture to prevent that. In 1900, world population was 1 billion; in 2000 it was 6 billion. Now population control clearly has to be part of the solution, although that may not require any gov't action. As prosperity increases, birth rate drops, even reaching below replacement level.
