Perhaps once all the easy obtainable fossil resources are gone, and climate change settles down on a new equilibrium, humanity will also settle on a long-term sustainable way of living. Perhaps that will even be a civilized way, but it may also well end up a hunter-gatherer existence akin to what Europeans found in North America a few centuries ago. |

How could finding naturally growing plants eventually be more successful than technological innovations around agriculture, in a drier climate (our future)? This doesn't seem logical/rational, since every desert civilization moved away from a hunter-gather existence. Irrigation has existed for millennia, invented by people that lived in dry places [1], because it wasn't optional.
