Summary
As populations increase, technological progress will enable food production to also increase. If societies do not become more centralized, such that the factors contributing to food production can be better coordinated, then increases in food production from technology will be small. Historically, more centralized societies had a greater number of people die if it collapsed. Increasing centralization can therefore worsen the outcome of a societal collapse.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
It is impossible to significantly increase food production from technological gains without also worsening the risk of potential societal collapse. Technological improvements may prevent some, but not all, harms that occur when populations increase.
