Who Will Feed China?: Wake-Up Call for a Small Planet
TL;DR: The authors showed that even as water becomes more scarce in a land where 80 percent of the grain crop is irrigated, as per-acre yield gains are erased by the loss of cropland to industrialization, China still increases its population by the equivalent of a new Beijing each year.

Global Food Projections to 2020: Implications for Investment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the global food security picture through 2020, using a model that incorporates 35 individual countries and regions and 17 commodities to estimate supply and demand for food, and concluded that if governments and the international community maintain current levels of commitment to agricultural growth through cost-effective investment in agricultural research, extension, irrigation and water development, human capital, and rural infrastructure, the world as a whole will not experience overwhelming pressure but food security in many developing countries, particularly in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, will improve little.
