People in Saharan Africa started cultivating and storing wild cereals 10,000 years ago, suggests a new study published in Nature Plants. Scientists say it could be a lesson in future food security if global warming makes it necessary to find alternative food crops. 

More than 200,000 seeds were discovered in small circular concentrations in an ancient rock shelter named Takarkori. Located in southwestern Libya, it’s now a desert, but during the Holocene, it was part of the “green Sahara” where wild cereals grew.

We have had a major glut in food stuffs, especially cereals, for quite a while now. Farmers are going broke because of it. I don't see this being a problem in the near future.
