I'd never heard of the Haber process, it was interesting to read about

according to wikipedia it cut the required farmland to feed a population in four. obviously it's hard to argue with more food for more people, but it clearly made urbanisation and overpopulation that much easier. quite a brilliant invention of engineering, but is it actually a good thing for a population to grow at that rate?

What are you implying by this comment?

I think it's pretty obvious what I'm implying. overpopulation is bad, and the Haber process has massively accelerated overpopulation. ergo it's worth questioning whether it's actually a good thing
