The fact that per capita food production had been increasing even before the green revolution is relevant to discussions on the amount of food available per person, and on the likelihood of massive world wide famines if the green revolution had not happened. But you wouldn't have needed this per capita food production increase to continue. If things had stagnated, even if food production (rather than per capita food production) had stagnated, we would not have had famine on the scale that he predicted. Remember he was predicting such famine in just a few years, not a couple of decades later. The prediction was ridiculous even with the information he would have had available.
