Population of France 1891: 39.6 million

2020: 65 million

2100: 65 million

Population of DR Congo 1891: 8.23 million

2020: 90 million (about 8 million rely on food aid to survive)

2100: 362 million

Europe and the West can feed themselves without cheap fertilizer, they have done so for 200 years (about the time since the last major famine in France).

Cheap fertilizer is just leading to unsustainable population explosions in the developing world, where the reproduction strategies of men (these are patriachal societies where women lack consistent access to education, contraception, abortion) will inevitably push the ecosystem to its limits.

We are essentially in violation of the Prime Directive in terms of the free food, goods, technology we are giving some of these countries.
