The current agricultural land in US alone can easily feed by various estimates at least 2 billions people. The trouble is that most of it is used to grow corn etc. to feed animals in the industrial meat production.

One third is used for animal feed, a third for ethanol to blend into gasoline and a third for food consumption directly.

To me it seems like the ethanol production part would be the easiest to put towards human consumption.
