So the first thing I want to post is a Ted Talk. If you have not heard of them, then you will see me link to a bold new world of ideas. As with all ideas, use the scientific method and check the results. Nothing should be mystical since the world is a rational place even if we do not understand it all at the moment.
Jonathan Foley has a great talk over at ted.com that points out how much of the world is being used for agriculture. This is a great talk for everyone, and even better for those that like to say that you can fit every person on the planet into a major USA city. The response for that is, Ok but the land needed for the food is the size of South America.
I also recommend additional reading at this wiki article: Tragedy_of_the_commons
