It would have, but it didn't. That same thing happens every single time. The scientists predict that humanity is going to go through a mass-starvation event, then some breakthrough in agricultural science makes their prediction laughable. It's happened on all occasions before; it's going to happen again.

Don't care about that, only care about the original prediction. With the numbers, technology & techniques they had at the time their predictions were right.
"It's happened on all occasions before; it's going to happen again."
Maybe, then again speaking just for starvation we won't have to worry about it. I will bet my left testicle that we won't see 10 billion people on this earth at once.

No, it didn't. If Borlaug hadn't have came along & doubled our food production, mass starvation predictions would have become reality.

Because an outside force changed the equation.
