Then it really will get bad, with conflicts over the remaining agricultural land leading to nuclear war.
Cheers!

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

You are hoping and praying for pain. With only one exception ('planning', 'wisdom', 'compassion' are all necessary together) all the other 'solutions' are terrible tragedies for those being 'solved.' By itself your 'solution' is the fate you say you want to avoid. So why not just accept what is?
