The difference between the Malthusian pessimists and the cornucopian optimists," says Postel,"comes down to little more than an assumption about grain land productivity over the next several decades—specifically, whether yields will grow at closer to the 1 percent rate of the 1990s or the 2 percent rate of the previous four decades.
