The following link contains one of the finest, succinct summaries of the 
message of LtG 35+years after its publication as well as a current 
appraisal of the 'benefits' to be found in the fundamental dynamics of 
LtG. This makes it clear why it is so difficult to get useful action to 
address let alone mitigate long-term dynamics.

The article discusses prospects for investment in Agriculture sector 
companies. The exemplary paragraphs (in case you have trouble reaching 
this site):

"That means that the world will have to produce a lot more grain to feed 
livestock. According to a research report from Wellington West, it takes 
seven pounds of grain to produce a pound of beef, and four pounds per pound 
of pork.

It's pretty clear that the world's farmers will have a fantastic opportunity 
to grow and sell grains as this scenario unfolds. But there's a problem. 
There's not enough land.
..
You can probably safely assume that investments in agricultural yield 
improvements are going to head higher."
