There are HUGE chunks of land through out the world that could be used for farming without a big impact on the local ecosystems. Places like the Amazon basin don't happen to on the list.

Imagine growing drought hardy grains in central and southern Africa. Or any number of crops in the grasslands of China, many there wouldn't even need irrigation. I think many countries are in such a rush to industrialize that they over look some of their natural resources.
