By the time population will be dwindling, again after Africa has peaked, vast areas of farmland will no longer be need to grow food. The less fertile and dry land that needs irrigation and lots of fertilize will no longer be economic to plant and will be reruned to wilderness. This land will get very cheap. Oil will very very expensive. The balance will shift to bio-fuels. Bio-tech will adapt crops -suitable to produce energy- to be planted there. I give you an example: the cerrado -the savannah like area (2 million km2, was said that would never be suitable to plant. It was discovered that if you plow it deep (5ft) and you will revolve that layer of soil, you could plant soy beans there. It's just a matter to project a future taking into consideration all aspects.
