I hightly doubt our earth could ever contain 48 billion people to a satisfactory living standard, and by that I dont mean over consumption, I mean a low mortality rate and a good quality of life.
First world living standards in relation to land for food production vs population, mean that you just slightly over 1 acre, I think 1.3? of land to sustain your population if they are following modern dietary recommendations. Last I heard the US is down to around 1.5
I mean thats not even taking into consideration over consuption or over eating, that is what you need, to produce food for one person, each year.
Growing as much of your own food as you can, and buying locally can have a huge positive contribution in that it decreases the strain on the food industry, not to mention being far more efficient in regards to water usage.. Not eating meat and ceasing the meat production industry could substantially hold back the food shortage, even for several hundred years, but no one gives a fuck about not eating meat, no one believes we are as up to our necks in our own shit as we actually are. So no one will ever change and everyone will die (almost) and then in a few hundred or thousand years we'll start all over again until our sun consumes our planet.
