The Green Revolution

Is new technology necessary to increase food production?

That's a relatively difficult thought to ponder. I mean, back in the day, before any of our times, people provided food for themselves and as their cultures grew, they were able to continue producing more food because their workforce grew as well. So then that comes to another road block, if we were all to produce food for ourselves, would it increase food production?

I don't believe that at the time we're in it is possible to increase food production in any way other than new technology. Imagine a person growing up with a big ol' 50 caliber sniper rifle and shooting it all their life, and then later in life having that rifle taken away and they are given a slingshot instead. Sure, they could still get their self food with this new(well, old) tool, but since it wasn't the way they grew up, it would be much more difficult to make the change.
