Honestly, we've solved them, but we've solved them with unsustainable methods.
For example, modern large scale farming is pretty harmful and is destroying top soil and striping soil of important nutrients. But we all like to run around saying, "automated", and it mostly is, but it comes at a cost.

I think that's orthogonal. We could have about the same level of automation with more sustainable farming methods. Planting monocrop fields from horizon to horizon is just a little cheaper.
