"The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) forecasts crop yields increasing 30% by 2050. And the poorest parts of the world, like sub-Saharan Africa, are expected to see increases of 80 to 90%."
Yay Us! (to quote you). This is a spectacular outcome. Unless, you don't like people who live in sub-Saharan Africa...
Something else that is useful to read are the Hacker News posting guidelines:

In particular the following suggestions:
Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."
Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized.
That's bullshit. As the climate shifts "natural disasters" increase and make many places less habitable. We're already seeing this now and it's only getting worse. As these places slowly become uninhabitable, people immigrate or die and poor people are on the cusp of that.
I suppose this article is from Forbes so it's all about how fairly wealthy people will fair so the chipper attitude makes sense.
Of course, I will call out you "climate shifts ... make many places less habitable". Name one. Anywhere on the planet.
African agricultural productivity is so low that proper technical (and institutional) investment can easily cover the expected (large) population growth in the 21st cent.
Climate change will be catastrophic if we don't decarbonize sufficiently, but it will not be apocalyptic.
