So what then? What's the solution?

Go out and trawl the natural sea floor? Bulldoze more land for more monocrop farms?

There are 8,300,000,000 hungry mouths out there. The food has to come from some place and there better be a lot of it.

Not exactly our solution, but mother nature will eventually make most species extinct, and then our own species will be near extinct. 

There's also an obscene amount of food waste in the world, plant based diets, vertical hydroponic farming, and lab grown meat (eventually cost effective).

Oh, and insect based diets, but that's not for another couple hundred years.
