Most reasonable people will say yes, but think about it.
If our food is in abundance, we will procreate and make an even larger population, where even more people will go hungry. So again you say "produce more food, of course," and now the population is even greater, with an even greater number of people going hungry. Eventually there won't be any more space to make more food, no more forests to chop down to turn into farmland. And we'll not only have destroyed the earth, but caused an enourmous amount of people that will have to starve.
So I think the better solution is to limit the population of our species, which however is no easy task. Birth control hasn't halted our expansion.
We live in a culture that believes expanding and conquering the entire world is a goal, but this destroys the world.
I guess I should have stuck to something a little more specific in my rambling, but what are your thoughts?
