Another easy fix is to stop factory farming meat - we feed cows and pigs and chickens (and fish for that matter) lots of high protein food - and they reduce all those calories and protein to 1/20th or even less! We need to eat less meat for our own health, anyway - and we need to re-integrate animals into small scale crop farms. Plants and animals on the same farm are completely symbiotic, and these farms *improve* the soil over time, rather than depleting it.
So if we suddenly had 20X more calories available than we do now, then we most certainly will *not* starve. And we would be a heck of a lot healthier, to boot. Grass-fed beef is far tastier than soy and corn fed beef, and the cows would not get indigestion (they evolved to eat grass) so we would have a lot less cow fart methane than we do now.
Nature doesn't have any waste. Neither should we.
